The legal community knows Paul Shechtman as a brilliant trial lawyer, appellate advocate, scholar, and writer—with good reason.
Paul attended Swarthmore College. He excelled academically, but his college memories center on meeting his wife, Bonnie Yochelson, and playing basketball. After graduating, he attended Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship. According to Paul, he studied “Marx,” as in Groucho. He and Bonnie married in her parents’ backyard. Meanwhile, he starred on the Oxford basketball team so that he could dominate the courts of England.
