Sheryl Axelrod Brings the Judges Pro Tempore in the Commerce Program to The Barristers Association of Philadelphia

There are few women serving as mediators and arbitrators, and even fewer women of color.  

The Commerce Program judges have actively called upon those who serve as Judges Pro Tempore in the Commerce Program to try to expand the diversity of their ranks.  

The Barristers Association of Philadelphia is dedicated to the advancement of Black lawyers. In an effort to tap into the wealth of talent in The Barristers, The Axelrod Firm’s Sheryl Axelrod, who has been a Barristers’ member since 2014, presented to The Barristers on February 10, 2021, about the benefits of becoming a Commerce Program JPT and how to do it.  

Sheryl has given similar presentations to the Philadelphia Bar Association Women in the Profession Committee and to The APABA-PA
