This scholarship award highlights the critical need for regulatory agility in an era of rapid technological advancement. By recognizing Bul’s analysis of cosmetic versus drug classification, Bertolino LLP underscores the importance of preparing future leaders to address complex legal contradictions that will define the global policy landscape by 2075.
Bertolino LLP is proud to announce Ajok "Jolie" Bul as the recipient of the 2026 Impact in Government Scholarship.

Her forward-thinking vision emphasizes how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology will likely necessitate a complete overhaul of current government oversight by 2075.
Beyond her academic success, Bul brings extensive experience from her role as the founder of Nile Glow, a social-impact initiative providing fair-wage employment to women in South Sudan. Her commitment to leadership and global service is further evidenced by her active participation in the prestigious NexPoint John G. Tower Scholars Program and her impactful work with international organizations like UNICEF. These diverse experiences have provided her with a unique, practical perspective on the intersection of law, economics, and global development.
The $2,500 scholarship will assist Bul in pursuing her interdisciplinary academic goals as she prepares for a future career bridging business and international public policy. Bertolino LLP remains committed to supporting the next generation of leaders who demonstrate the critical thinking skills necessary to navigate complex regulatory landscapes. By investing in students like Bul, the firm continues its long-standing tradition of fostering excellence and innovation within the professional and legal communities.
