2023 Paralegal Scholarship Winner: Victoria Russell, Louisiana State University

Russell is currently enrolled in Louisiana State University’s Paralegal Studies Program.

Russell currently works full-time at a law firm, where she quickly learned how much she loves reading, writing, and trial preparations.  She says her favorite part of the process is discovery, which is the formal process of exchanging information about the case.

While learning the legal process hands-on, Russell’s father-in-law was diagnosed with cancer, and they lost him a little less than two years later.
