Judge Bill Schoettler
HONORABLE R. WILLIAM SCHOETTLER (Judge Bill), Los Angeles County Superior Court, (Retired). I was born and raised in Los Angeles, attended school here and since graduating from Southwestern University in 1964, have practiced law in one form or another. I was appointed to the Superior Court Bench by Governor Deukmajian in 1988 and since then I have heard more than 12,000 cases as a Judge, Mediator and Arbitrator. I have also received a Masters in Arts in Counseling Psychology from the University of Santa Monica and have worked as a counseling therapist since 2005. In short, I have made alternative dispute resolution (ADR) the central focus of this stage of my working life. I bring to the table a lifetime of rich experiences and adventures, which have helped me understand and appreciate the challenging issues and opportunities that confront all of us.Please review my website and contact me, either directly or through ADR Services (310/201-0010) and let me have the opportunity to explore with you the issues you consider challenging.
