Lori, our founder, has always had a love of reading.  From the time she was little, she could be found reading in her bedroom.  This passion to know more turned into pursuing higher education and then law school.  

Let us tell you the story that inspired this scholarship. During law school, Lori decided to save her valuable money and buy used books instead of the shiny, new ones.  During her first year of law school, she took Con Law, a requisite class.  To save money, Lori decided it would be a great idea to buy a used book from an upperclassmen instead of the new $200 book.  The problem, however, was that the editions changed dramatically in one year.  The old book lacked so much of the new material and went into depth on other matters that were no longer contained in the new text!  In order to keep up with the class, every week Lori borrowed the new book to spend an hour at the copy machine. What a time waster (not to mention, illegal!).  She then had to piece together the material while also trying to keep up with the class.
