At Swift Justice, Inc., we believe that everyone has the right to justice in both a speedy and comprehensive manner. Far too often, there are massive delays in the legal process, causing those who rely on it the most to suffer. We are strong advocates for addressing injustice as soon as possible.
We also owe it to each other to identify and attempt to rectify injustices when we see them. To that end, we are excited to announce the Swift Justice Scholarship! This $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to one student who can detail in a 750-1,000-word essay a time they recognized an injustice and the steps they took to correct it.
