This is a $3,000 scholarship awarded once a year to students that have completed at least one
\nsemester of law school, subject to the criteria identified below.<\/p>\n
The Minnesota State Bar Association divides the state into twenty-one districts. The 14th District
\nincludes the following counties located in the far northwest portion of Minnesota: Kittson, Roseau,
\nMarshall, Polk, Red Lake, Norman, and Mahnomen.<\/p>\n
This area offers an extraordinary opportunity to gain work experience, try various areas of the
\nlaw, and rapidly develop a career. However, it is difficult to attract individuals who are unaware of the
\nwork opportunities, quality of life, and beauty of this area.<\/p>\n

\nindividuals to the 14th District.<\/p>\n
