Tribute to Phillip L. Isenberg
By Jerilyn Paik - The ABAS Law Foundation pays tribute to Phillip Isenberg, who, together with his spouse, Marilyn Araki Isenberg, established the “Araki-Isenberg Scholarship” in 2003. The ABAS Law Foundation has awarded this scholarship on an annual basis for the last 20 years. The criteria Phil and Marilyn Isenberg set for the scholarship award are simple and important: “an activist law student in financial need.” That succinct and clear phrase – “activist law student”– best exemplifies the qualities that Phil most admired throughout his years of public service and in the social justice that he devoted so much of his life to promoting.
