Panter, Panter & Sampedro (PPS) is proud to announce that it has awarded Anabelle Garcia of Miami Killian Senior High School as the 2025 recipient of the Lorraine Silverstein Law Studies Scholarship. The scholarship was presented to Garcia during the Miami Killian Senior High School Awards Ceremony on May 1 in the in the Killian Performing Arts Center (KPAC).
“Lorraine Silverstein was a unique person and a stalwart in the field of education. She worked tirelessly preparing her students in whatever the subject. Law was no exception.” said Mitch Panter, managing partner of Panter, Panter & Sampedro during the award ceremony. “This year’s recipient of the Lorraine Silverstein Award is a young lady who distinguished herself as an exceptional ILSA student almost immediately upon her arrival at Killian. She is a problem solver who leads by example. Her personality is infectious! As a sophomore, her debating skills began to develop depth and focus. During this time, she has also been a high performing student while also participating in many clubs and other activities.”
Garcia was honored with the scholarship after demonstrating her strong commitment to the International Law Studies Academy (ILSA). Although she was unable to join the program as a freshman, she completed the necessary coursework on her own during the summer, achieving a 4.0 GPA. She has distinguished herself as an attorney in the Teen Court Program and as a leader in this year’s Mock Trial Program. She is a valued member of the Law Honor Society, a cheerleader, a Class Ambassador, and regularly volunteers after school.
“Receiving that award and being recognized for one of the things I’m truly passionate about—law—really urged me to look at what I want to do (or rather what I want to continue doing) with my life,” said Garcia. “I’m so grateful for the opportunity I’ve been given by you and Mr. Andrews by taking this course, and I am inspired by you, your work and your dedication to your craft.”
