We are proud to share that the Los Angeles Chapter of ABOTA has voted to name the Los Angeles ABOTA Trial School the Daniels Schonbuch Los Angeles ABOTA Trial School, honoring the extraordinary contributions of Schonbuch Hallissy LLP Managing Partner Michael Schonbuch to the program.

Mike began assisting partner Jack Daniels with the ABOTA Trial School in 2012 and took over as Course Director in 2014, leading and shaping the program for more than a decade. Under his leadership, the Trial School has become an invaluable experience for developing trial lawyers—bringing together seasoned ABOTA members and newer attorneys in an intensive program where participants observe and then demonstrate core trial skills by presenting the elements of a full trial over the course of three days.

This recognition is a well-deserved honor for Mike and a meaningful way to celebrate the lasting impact and legacies of Jack Daniels and Michael Schonbuch on the ABOTA Trial School and the trial bar. Congratulations, Mike!
