From Law School To Journalism

From a very young age, Floyd molded Dan and his younger sister Ronnie through his work and anecdotes to make them stand out from the competition. However, the ABC correspondent had no interest in following in his father’s footsteps. In an interview with The New York Times back in 2014, Dan revealed that he attended law school because he was unable to find his purpose in life. Abrams graduated with a B. An in political science from Duke University and then attended the Columbia Law School in 1989.

Following the case, Abrams covered several high-profile trials of that decade including the International War Crimes Tribunal from The Netherlands and the assisted-suicide trials of Dr. Jack Kevorkian from Michigan.
