    Law students are invited to participate in the Sixth Constantine Cannon Law School Scholarship Essay Contest, which explores the importance and impact of whistleblowers in today’s society.

    This year’s essay prompt encourages students to reflect on the role whistleblowers play in their personal lives and/or the influence of emerging technologies and artificial intelligence on whistleblowing. The contest provides an opportunity for students to engage with an important area of law while competing for scholarship funding.

    Constantine Cannon, a law firm known for its work in whistleblower and False Claims Act litigation, sponsors the annual contest to promote awareness of whistleblower protections and the vital role whistleblowers play in accountability and transparency.
