Douglas County Legal Essay Contest

The Douglas County Legal Essay Contest is an annual scholarship competition for students who attend high school in Douglas County and who plan to advance their formal education after graduation. Scholarships are awarded for the top three essays written on the legal or law related topic for that year's competition. The contest is sponsored by the Douglas County Law Library and the Douglas County Bar Association. The first contest was held in the spring of 2008.

The name of the author of each year's first place essay is added to a plaque in the Law Library. In addition, a copy of each year's first place essay is kept in the Law Library.
