Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School (AJMLS) is proud to announce the recipients of the Spring 2025 scholarships (Part 1), recognizing their dedication to excellence in legal education and their potential to make significant contributions to the legal profession. For this upcoming spring, three outstanding students have been awarded prestigious scholarships that will help further their academic careers and future endeavors in law.
Andres Rincon: TL4JGA Future Trial Lawyer Scholarship
Andres Rincon, a Class of 2026 student, was awarded the TL4JGA Future Trial Lawyer Scholarship. This generous $7,500 scholarship recognizes Andres for his commitment to becoming a future trial lawyer, whom has a focus on immigration law and juvenile law.
Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Andres holds a BA in Political Science and is passionate about advocating for vulnerable populations in his future legal practice. As a part-time evening student, Andres balances the demands of full-time work and his legal studies, often under financial stress. This scholarship will help ease that burden, enabling him to focus on his academic and legal pursuits.
He shared:
“I want to express my sincerest gratitude to Attorneys Joseph Wilson and Nick Rowley of Wilson Rowley, LLC for their generosity through this scholarship. Being a part-time evening student often comes with the added stress of working full-time through each semester to reduce the amount of loans I will ultimately incur. This scholarship will undoubtedly lift a burden off me and make a huge difference in my academic and legal career. I am confident that I will continue to embody the vision and mission of the TL4JGA Future Trial Lawyer Scholarship through my work in the legal field.”
Jadyn Gray-Hough: Plugs Lawyer Scholarship
Jadyn Gray-Hough, a Class of 2026 student from Decatur, Georgia, received the Plugs Lawyer Scholarship, which awards $1,250 to a student who has demonstrated potential in mediation, transactional law, and nonprofits. Jadyn holds an undergraduate degree in Theatre & Performance, a background that reflects her passion for communication and conflict resolution.
Jadyn expressed her deep appreciation in her gratitude note:
“I am immensely grateful to be the recipient of The Plugs Lawyer Scholarship for the spring 2025 semester! First and foremost, thank you to the AJMLS Scholarship Committee. Thank you also to our esteemed alumna, Tiffany Simmons for establishing this honor. As I continue my journey at AJMLS, I will forever be grateful for the kindness and additional assistance this opportunity provides. Congratulations also to my fellow scholarship recipients. May we all continue to prosper and acknowledge our blessings.”
Deeandra Patterson: Fry|Goehring Scholarship
The Fry|Goehring Scholarship was awarded to Deeandra Patterson, a Stone Mountain, Georgia native and Class of 2026 student. Deeandra’s focus is on education law, corporate law, and general counsel, and she holds a background in education and political science. The scholarship amount is $1,000.
Deeandra’s gratitude for the scholarship was expressed with heartfelt sincerity:
“Dear Mr. Randy Fry and Ms. Gulliana Goehring, Your extraordinary generosity through the Fry | Goehring Scholarship is much appreciated, not just in supporting my legal education, but in breaking down barriers for an African American woman pursuing a career in law. By investing in my potential, you have provided me with an invaluable opportunity to focus on my academic growth and work towards my goal of becoming a compassionate and effective attorney who can create meaningful change. Your commitment to educational access and professional mentorship resonates deeply with my aspirations to challenge systemic inequities and represent marginalized communities. This scholarship is more than financial support—it is a powerful statement of belief in my potential and a catalyst for my future contributions to the legal profession.”
We are proud to celebrate these exceptional students for their dedication to their legal studies and their potential to create meaningful impact in their chosen fields. The Spring 2025 scholarships are a testament to the generosity of those who invest in the future of law and the next generation of attorneys. Andres, Jadyn, and Deeandra exemplify the values of Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School, and we are excited to see the impact they will make on the legal profession in the years to come.
