The makers of the hit ABC comedy 'Abbott Elementary' successfully convinced a New York federal court to dismiss a lawsuit from Christine Davis, a NYC teacher who accused them of copying her script for a proposed television show titled 'This School Year.' US District Judge Katherine Failla ruled that Davis could not prove the shows were similar enough to constitute copyright infringement by Disney's ABC. This legal victory for 'Abbott Elementary' coincides with the show's ongoing success, highlighted by profiles of its creator and star, Quinta Brunson, and the positive reception of its episodes and guest stars.
