In a statement released October 15, Siegfried & Jensen announced that Isaac Termure has won the 2026 Truth, Justice, and Fairness Scholarship. Based in Salt Lake City, the firm established the annual scholarship to support students aiming to use the law to create meaningful change through truth, justice, and fairness.
Termure, a first-generation student from a modest-income immigrant family, recently graduated summa cum laude from the Missouri University of Science and Technology. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a 3.88 GPA. Before his undergraduate studies, he completed two associate degrees through the Running Start dual-enrollment program at Lake Washington Institute of Technology while in high school.
This fall, Termure will begin his legal education at Seattle University School of Law. He plans to focus on intellectual property law and intends to build a career that includes meaningful pro bono service. He aims to use his technical background to help courts understand complex evidence, such as engineering defects and product failures, to ensure injured individuals receive fair outcomes.
Termure's interest in the law is influenced by his family history; his father and grandparents immigrated to the United States from Romania after experiencing life under a communist government where justice and opportunity were limited. He stated that growing up in a hardworking immigrant family taught him never to take legal protections for granted and expressed his hope to create accountability for those who need it most.
A representative for Siegfried & Jensen said that Termure embodies the purpose of the scholarship through his dedication to serving others and his unique perspective.
Beyond academics, Termure has volunteered for many years through his church in support of youth programs, choir, band, and worship teams. During his undergraduate studies, he tutored engineering students in advanced mathematics. His future professional goals include advocating for immigrant families, first-generation Americans, independent inventors, and individuals lacking the resources to secure legal representation.
Founded in 1990, Siegfried & Jensen has represented families and injured individuals throughout Utah, Idaho, and Washington for more than three decades. The firm has served more than 35,000 people and has recovered more than $1.2 billion for its clients.
The Truth, Justice, and Fairness Scholarship is part of Siegfried & Jensen's ongoing commitment to investing in future leaders dedicated to expanding access to justice and serving their communities.
