Shareholder Sherri L. Worman Becomes Master in the Chester Bedell Inn of Court

By accepting the invitation to become a Master in the Inn of Court, Worman continues the longstanding tradition of Rogers Towers attorneys asked to the Inn of Court. She joins Shareholders A. Graham Allen, Christopher C. Hazelip , Edward McCarthy, and Michael J. Dewberry, who also currently serves as the Inn’s secretary and treasurer.

“I welcome our firm’s new and returning members of the Inn,” said Dewberry, a Rogers Towers Shareholder and a Master of the Inn. “The firm has a long and proud history of participation and support of the Inn, beginning with my mentor, Jim McLean, who was a co-founder of the local Inn in 1985.”

Worman earned her Bachelor’s degree from the University of West Florida (1987) and her Juris Doctorate from Stetson University (1993). She joined Rogers Towers in 1993 and is Chair of the firm’s Construction department, as well as Board-certified in Construction Law by the Florida Bar. She was recognized by Super Lawyers magazine for her work in construction litigation and was named to Florida Trend Magazine’s ”Legal Elite” from 2009 to 2014.

Kennelly accepted the invitation to become a Barrister in the Inn of Court for a three-year term. As a Barrister, Kennelly will assist the Inn of Court in helping lawyers become more effective advocates, with a keener ethical awareness, by providing them with opportunities to learn side-by-side with the most experienced judges and lawyers in their communities. He earned Bachelor’s degrees in both public relations and political science from the University of Florida (2004) and his Juris Doctorate from the University of Florida Levin College of Law (2008). Kennelly joined Rogers Towers as a member of the firm’s Litigation department in 2009. He serves as a legal mentor at KYN , an accelerator program for start-up companies, and was also included in both Florida Trend Magazine’s “Legal Elite—Up & Comer” and Florida Super Lawyer’s “Rising Star” lists from 2012 to 2014.

Nozzolillo is a new associate in the Inn of Court. He graduated in the top 4 percent from the University of Florida Levin College of Law (2013) and joined Rogers Towers in 2013 as a member of the firm’s Litigation department focusing on bankruptcy and creditors’ rights. Nozzolillo is a contributing writer for the Florida Banking Law Blog published by Rogers Towers.

The American Inns of Court are designed to improve the skills, the professionalism, and the legal ethics with which the bench and the bar perform their functions. The Chester Bedell Inn of Court received its charter in 1985 in Jacksonville, Florida. The Inn was founded by twenty-five judges and lawyers and operates in accordance with its bylaws, as amended. It was Florida’s first Inn and the thirteenth in the nation. There are now more than 350 local Inns in the United States.
