At a time when the relevance of bar associations has been called into question, newly installed Philadelphia Bar Association Chancellor Rochelle “Shelli” Fedullo is planning a year designed to reinforce and reinvigorate the organization’s value to the legal community for both existing and prospective members.

An attorney since 1982 and a longtime litigator and partner with Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker, Fedullo has been an active member of the Philadelphia Bar Association for decades, having served on the Board of Governors for 10 years, including as chairwoman of the board. She is the organization’s 92nd chancellor.
