Scott A. Adrian's reputation for success started as soon as he entered law school, and has kept going.
Scott graduated from Southwestern Law School’s two-year J.D. SCALE Program - one of just a few two-year J.D. programs in the Country.
While in Law School, Scott placed first in the Southwestern Trial Advocacy Honors Program Competition; was a ranked advocate at the regional trial tournaments throughout California; was a top oralist in the Southwestern Moot Court Honor’s Program Competition; was an editor on the Southwestern Journal of International Law; won a Blue-Book award for excellent note citation in an internationally published Law Journal; was on the dean's list; and received the Center for Computer Assisted Legal Instruction, Excellence for the Future Award for the highest grade among his classmates in a law school course - Remedies.
After Law School, Scott continued developing his reputation for success in his experiences outside of law school: Scott worked as a certified law clerk for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office where he won 7 of 7 preliminary hearings before graduating from law school. Scott also worked as a judicial extern for the Honorable Judge Terry J. Hatter, Federal Judge for the United States District Court, Central District of California, where he worked on cases involving international businesses, cyber-squatting, and business litigation. Scott was selected to be 1 of 19 students in the Southern California area for a prestigious fellowship with the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA). Through this fellowship, Scott A. Adrian was placed with some of the best attorneys and firms in the industry, including Stephen Pasarow, a Director of Knapp, Petersen, and Clarke (a civil defense firm), David deRubertis (a famous plaintiff employment lawyer), and the Honorable Judge Yvette Palazuelos of the Los Angeles Superior Court.
Continuing on, Scott continues to further his reputation by giving each one of his clients the one-on-one attention that they deserve. He's won trials, got settlements, and is eager to help his next clients and face new challenges. His most recent award includes being selected as a candidate to be recognized as a "Top 40 under 40." attorney by the American Academy of Attorneys. Less than 1% of attorneys are extended the opportunity to be a member of the American Academy of Attorneys.
