He earned his Juris Doctor degree from the Dickinson School of Law.  Admitted to practice before all Pennsylvania state courts and the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, he serves in the family law practice at JSDC. He is a leader in his field as evidenced by his role in instituting the Dauphin County Custody Conciliation Program and serving as Dauphin County Custody Conciliator and Master for Children and Youth and Juvenile Probation. Mr. Connelly has received the honor of being named a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer in the area of Family Law, a designation awarded to the top 5% of attorneys in Pennsylvania. In addition, he has written materials for various family law seminars and provides pro bono work for the Dauphin County Bar Association.

Mr. Connelly was a political science major who chose to become an attorney due to his interest in the inner workings of government. His most memorable moment as an attorney came while working on an argument before the United States Supreme Court when he had the opportunity to meet William O. Douglas and Thurgood Marshall. He is married with one daughter and two grandchildren.
