The attorneys at Adras & Altig are pleased to sponsor for the third consecutive year a Criminal Justice Essay Contest to help students with college expenses and to raise greater awareness of the issue of underage drinking and its contribution to car accidents.
Even though Nevada’s legal drinking age has been set at 21 for decades now, many teenagers and 20-year-olds continue to consume alcohol. Some underage drinkers make the dangerous decision to get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol, even though state law sets a stringent legal limit of 0.02% BAC for motorists under 21.
We are looking for your fresh ideas about how our society can curb underage drinking and prevent young drivers from hitting the road while impaired by alcohol.
Enter to Win
To enter the Criminal Justice Essay Contest, students should submit an original essay on the following topic:
What do you think could be done to decrease the rates of underage drinking, which would decrease the number of accidents as well?
Prizes
Adras & Altig, Attorneys at Law will award prizes to three student essayists chosen as winners of the Criminal Justice Essay Contest. The prizes will be:
- First Place—$1,500
- Second Place—$750
- Third Place—$500
Each winner will receive a check from the law firm to be used for education-related expenses.
Eligibility
The essay contest is open to juniors and seniors in high school, as well as students enrolled in two-year and four-year colleges and universities and graduate school programs in Nevada and throughout the United States. Applicants who are 17 years old or younger will need to provide parental consent to enter.
Applicants should submit an essay as a Word document or PDF, a digital photo of themselves and a school transcript.
If you have questions regarding the essay contest, you may contact us at adrasandaltig@gmail.com
