Ezra Wohlgelernter Installed Philadelphia Bar Association Chancellor

PHILADELPHIA - EntSun -- Feldman Shepherd is pleased to announce that Ezra Wohlgelernter was installed as Chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association.

Speaking at his installation, Wohlgelernter noted the significance of the Bar Association as the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary.

"This historic occasion offers us, as leaders and members of the Bar Association, a profound opportunity to honor the enduring values of our democracy and the Rule of Law. As Thomas Paine said, 'In America, the Law is the King,'" Wohlgelernter said.

Wohlgelernter outlined his priorities: inspiring civic engagement, expanding CLE opportunities, preparing members for the challenges and opportunities presented by artificial intelligence (AI) technology, supporting the professional development of young lawyers, and continuing the Association's commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Wohlgelernter noted that lawyers devote enormous resources selecting 12 jurors, but the "real truth" is that jury selection does not begin on the first day of trial. "It begins in middle school in eighth-grade civics, when young students first learn about the Constitution, the justice system, and their future roles in society."

He previously served as the Bar Association's Chancellor-Elect and Vice Chancellor, as well as co-chair of the Young Lawyers Trial Academy, co-chair of the Medical-Legal Committee, and on the State Civil Litigation Section Executive Committee.
