Colette Noghreian is a Law Clerk with Schonbuch Hallissy LLP, and a native of Los Angeles, California. Colette embarked on her academic journey at Chapman University, where she not only excelled academically but also demonstrated her commitment to social justice by volunteering with the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office in the Post Conviction Review Unit, aiding the wrongfully convicted. Her thirst for cultural enrichment led her to study abroad in Seville, Spain, where she immersed herself in the local culture, honed her Spanish-speaking skills, and embraced the opportunity to broaden her worldview.

Building on her undergraduate experience, Colette pursued her legal education at LMU Loyola Law School. She deepened her understanding of conflict resolution by earning a certificate as a mediator, and actively participated in the conciliation and mediation clinic at the Loyola Center for Conflict Resolution. Colette’s leadership skills and passion for community engagement were enhanced through her role as a member of the Day Student Bar Association (student government) for two years, where she organized impactful events as the Sports Chair. Throughout law school, Colette sought to augment her classroom learning with practical experience, interning at two civil litigation firms, gaining invaluable insights into both plaintiff and defense practice.
