Public by Default Scholarship
$1,000
Introduction
Many documents related to arrests and court proceedings are accessible to the public well before any verdict is reached. While openness in government is vital, public availability of arrest records and law-enforcement files can create serious concerns about privacy, fairness, and long-term consequences for individuals—particularly those later exonerated.

Eligibility
- Open to legal U.S. residents who live in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia and who...
