Paul Bowers, who recently earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from the University of Pittsburgh, is the 2020 successful aspirant for the prestigious Chief Justice Samuel J. Roberts Scholarship, administered and awarded for the Roberts Family by the Erie County Law Foundation. Bowers will attend the University of Virginia School of Law in the fall. In his scholarship application, Bowers wrote he is motivated to help his community. “Although it may sound like a cliché, the reason why I want to become a lawyer is simple: to better the community. By becoming an attorney I aspire to ensure clients are receiving the most equitable treatment possible under our justice system, even if they lack the technical knowledge of the law to do so.”
