“Abbe embodies the intellectual rigor, independence, and forward-thinking leadership that Modern Courts needs at this moment,” said Executive Director Denise Kronstadt in the announcement. “We are grateful to Bill for his unwavering support and for elevating this organization during a time of enormous change. We are equally excited for the clarity, experience, and energy Abbe brings as our next Chair.”
