Each year, the Litchfield County Bar Association accepts applications for two (2) scholarships, each in the amount of $1,000.00, to potentially be awarded to students from the Litchfield Judicial District who are planning to attend, or are currently attending, an accredited law school and who meet the scholarship criteria. These scholarships are awarded in memory of the late Attorney Catherine Roraback and the late Attorney Thomas F. Wall, Sr., longtime members of the LCBA and pioneers in the practice of law in Litchfield County. The LCBA is not obligated to award these scholarships on an annual basis. Recipients of the award are required to attend one LCBA meeting after Law School to talk about their experience.
The scholarships will be awarded to students who are planning to attend, or are currently attending, an accredited law school and who, in the judgment of the Litchfield County Bar Association Scholarship Committee, has met the following criteria:
- Proof of enrollment in an accredited law school;
- Is a resident of the Litchfield Judicial District (Barkhamsted, Bethlehem, Bridgewater, Canaan, Colebrook, Cornwall, Goshen, Hartland, Harwinton, Kent, Litchfield, Morris, New Hartford, New Milford, Norfolk, North Canaan, Roxbury, Salisbury, Sharon, Thomaston, Torrington, Warren, Washington, and Winchester/Winsted; Woodbury and Watertown residents may also apply as they have the option of filing matters in either the Litchfield or Waterbury judicial districts).
- Has demonstrated excellent academic achievement; and
- Has exhibited qualities of leadership, commitment to public service through volunteer or other activities, and good moral character.
