Are you getting ready to take the Feb. 2017 bar exam?

The North Carolina criminal defense lawyers of Roberts Marcilliat & Mills PLLC, based in Raleigh and Charlotte, are offering two (2) scholarships for law students who have demonstrated a passion for criminal law.

These scholarships are valued at $2,500 each, to help defray the costs of a bar exam prep course and the fees associated with taking the Feb. 2017 bar exam.

To be specific:

  • Did you intern in the office of a prosecutor or public defender?
