The American Board of Trial Advocates Michigan Chapter recently announced that Detroit Member Dan Scully is this year’s recipient of the Presidential Award.
The award recognizes extraordinary contributions and dedication to furthering the mission of the American Board of Trial Advocates Michigan Chapter. This is Scully’s third recognition from ABOTA. He received the Richard Baxter Trial Lawyer of the Year honor in 2012, and the Scully Outstanding Service Award in 2017.
“I’m deeply humbled to be recognized with this year’s Presidential Award,” Scully said. “My father was an original member of ABOTA in Los Angeles in 1958. I was inducted in 1992 with my father present. To say that ABOTA has been a significant part of my personal and professional life is an understatement. I’m humbled and appreciative of this honor.”
Scully holds the rank of Diplomate in ABOTA and is one of only a very few Michigan lawyers to hold that rank. He has served on the ABOTA National Board Representative for the Michigan Chapter since 2001 and will be serving in that capacity for another two years.
This ABOTA recognition adds to a lengthy list of honors and appointments Scully currently holds at several professional organizations.
Scully is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers where is a member of the Michigan State Committee and is a past Chair of that committee. He is also the national chair of the admissions committee for ACTL. He is a Fellow of the International Society of Barristers and is currently serving as the Michigan State Chair for the ISOB. Scully is a Fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers and currently serves as the State Chair for that organization as well.
