About the Program

In service to our mission at the Philadelphia Bar Association and as legal professionals, we are using our power, influence, and voice to meet this moment in support of democracy and the rule of law. The Association launched Meeting the Moment to further our mission by finding innovative ways to CONVENE, COMMUNICATE and COLLABORATE with different stakeholder groups, working toward the goal of defending democracy and assisting in individuals whose rights are under attack.

Message from the Chancellor

…

The Bar Association is the voice of our profession and will continue to play this role, especially now, more than ever. But we are more than a voice, it’s more about what we do and what we will do. And we are more than just a voice; think back to May 1, Law Day, when 450 leaders and members gathered outside City Hall to retake their attorney’s oath. Our battle cry was, ‘justice matters,’ – and we know it certainly matters…. If we think big, we will not only have a local impact on our city, but our influence can extend to the entire Commonwealth and nationally, as well.”

2026 Chancellor, Ezra Wohlgelernter
