Now a partner and chair of the life science practice group at Porter Wright Morris & Arthur in Columbus, [Joyce] Edelman heads her firm’s Women’s Leadership Initiative and is on the steering committee of an innovative advocacy group called Gender Equity in the Legal Industry, or GELI (pronounced “jelly”).
