In a key leadership change within the state’s legal oversight, the Delaware Supreme Court has announced the appointment of Jessica Tyler as the chief disciplinary counsel for the Office of Disciplinary Counsel. This decision introduces a new chapter for the office tasked with maintaining ethical conduct across the state’s legal profession.
Tyler steps into the role previously held by David White, who has been serving since 2021. Her appointment reflects a continuity of leadership, given her prior position as deputy disciplinary counsel since 2022. During her tenure, Tyler has been noted for her involvement in overseeing the enforcement of professional standards across Delaware’s legal community.
Before ascending to her former deputy role, Jessica Tyler contributed significantly as a shareholder at Marshall Dennehy Warner Coleman & Goggin, where she specialized in civil litigation defense in Wilmington.
