Northview’s Perritt Places In Law Week Student Essay Contest

May 13, 2016

Northview High School student Sarah Perritt won third place in this year’s Law Week Student Essay Contest. Her prize included a $50 award and a certificate from the Northwest Florida Paralegal Association.

Perritt was encouraged to enter an essay by James Moretz, who teaches U.S. government, economics, sociology and physiology at Northview.

This year’s Law Week Essay Contest centered on the 50th anniversary of the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case, Miranda v. Arizona. Students were tasked with preparing a case brief essay which focused on the factual findings in the juvenile case of J.B.D. v. North Carolina and “Miranda.”

Moretz said Perrittis a highly motivated self-starter and is very deserving of the recognition she earned from the Northwest Florida Paralegal Association. Additionally, Moretz said he is encouraged that her success will inspire others to participate in next year’s contest.
