Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
The Kosciusko County Public Defender Agency on Friday announced the winner in their logo contest.
Aidan Ramirez, a freshman at Wawasee High School, submitted the winning design.
Chief Public Defender Jack C. Birch presented Ramirez with a certificate of recognition and a cash award on-site at the Syracuse school.
The agency began the contest in early August, opening it to Kosciusko County high school students in an effort to engage the community, allow students a chance to display their creativity, and be a good steward of taxpayer monies, according to a provided news release. The contest drew submissions from Tippecanoe Valley High School, Lakeland Christian Academy, Wawasee High School and Warsaw Community High School.
Birch stated that the winning design was chosen for its visual appeal, simplicity and alignment with the mission of the agency, which is to provide experienced legal representation to indigent clients ensuring they have access to justice and protection of their rights. The agency defends their clients’ liberty, dignity and rights throughout the legal process, the release states.
