More Than a Grade

“The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.”
– Vidal Sassoon

MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers believe hard work should be recognized by more than a top grade—top dollars are needed too. If we can’t support the next generation of defenders, we’re not working hard enough at our own practice.

That’s why MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers is thrilled to announce the establishment of the MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers Book Award in Evidence grant at Stetson University College of Law. This award aims to honor and foster excellence in legal education by rewarding top-performing students with a three-year grant totaling $7,500. 

Each year this scholarship will be presented to the student who earns the highest grade in evidence law at Stetson University College of Law. For MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers, evidence law is a crucial area of the practice and deserves foundational support for outstanding work.

Hope for a Bright Future

The first honoree of the MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers Book Award in Evidence grant goes to Hope Corbit. Her diligence and dedication to her studies in evidence has earned her $2,500 each year for three years over the course of her continuing studies at Stetson University. We’re thrilled to support her exceptional talents and watch how she grows.

Managing Partner Jeffrey “Jack” Gordon describes the collaboration as a “huge success” because “MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers believes in the power of investing in the best. Rewarding the outstanding achievements of the next generation is key to the success of many in the field of legal professionals.”

Powers of Partnership and Promoting Legal Education

Money matters. Gordon says, “We understand the significance of strong evidence in building compelling cases as well as the hard work and dedication it takes to learn how to do just that. This award reflects our commitment to excellence in legal education and our support for students who display exceptional aptitude and passion.”

This unique collaboration between Stetson University College of Law and MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers gives help where it makes the most difference and encourages students to strive for academic excellence. For extraordinary students like Hope Corbit, funding helps her to sustain her future studies without the added stress of how to fully pay for it.
