The Stuckey Firm, LLC takes pride in supporting its community. Our efforts supporting local sports teams have helped us connect with ambitious students from all walks of life. Now, we want to take our service one step further. Beginning in 2024/2025, current and incoming college students may apply for the firm’s $2,500 scholarship.
The Stuckey Firm Scholarship asks students to think critically about a jury’s influence on injury cases. We want students to create videos detailing their opinions on whether injury cases’ juries should be larger or more restricted.
Applicants have until March 15, 2025, to complete their scholarship applications. The Stuckey Firm, LLC looks forward to helping one stand-out student pursue their academic goals.

Scholarship Video Topic
Students applying for The Stuckey Firm, LLC’s scholarship must create a short video answering the following question:
- Should the right to a jury trial be expanded or restricted in injury cases?
The firm encourages students to cite relevant sources when arguing their positions. Please keep videos between two and three minutes in length. Upon completing a video, an applicant can submit that video to their YouTube account as an unlisted upload. Students can then include a link to that unlisted video alongside their application form.
Tips and Tricks for Video Creation
We want all students applying for The Stuckey Firm Scholarship to submit well-crafted videos for consideration. It’s with that standard in mind that we encourage students to:
- Hold their recording device of choice as still as possible
- Record in well-lit, non-echoing environments
- Include their full name and the name of The Stuckey Firm Scholarship at the beginning of their video
- Use copyright-free material to supplement their scripts
- Include credits and information about media editing tools in the video description or at the end of the video
While we encourage students to explore their creativity through the use of editing tools like Adobe Creative Cloud, the use of editing tools will not impact a student’s eligibility. In other words, The Stuckey Firm, LLC will not take a student’s editing ability into account when awarding its scholarship.
Use of AI When Creating Scholarship Videos
Students may not use AI to generate video scripts, create fake actors, automatically generate their scholarship applications, or modify their voices. Any student caught doing so will be automatically disqualified from consideration for The Stuckey Firm, LLC’s scholarship.
However, students may use AI to generate a video’s B-roll footage.

Students must complete and submit their videos by March 15, 2025. The Stuckey Firm, LLC, cannot accept scholarship applications submitted after this deadline, and the firm’s scholarship selection committee will not consider incomplete applications.
The firm reserves up to three months to select a winner from its applicant pool. Please do not contact The Stuckey Firm, LLC, to check on the status of a student’s application during this time.
