Honorable Selena E. Molina (Ret.)

Senior Magistrate Judge Molina joined Delaware ADR after more than seven years serving on Delaware’s Court of Chancery. On the court, Senior Magistrate Judge Molina earned a reputation as a thoughtful and efficient decisionmaker while presiding over a large and highly expedited docket of corporate, commercial, and equitable matters. In addition to managing and deciding hundreds of cases before her, she regularly resolved cases pending before her colleagues as their go-to judicial mediator, providing her with years of experience working with parties to craft bespoke resolutions through facilitative or evaluative mediation. As a Professional Neutral with Delaware ADR, Senior Magistrate Judge Molina now directs her experience, expertise, and talent towards resolving cases as an arbitrator, court-appointed neutral, and private mediator.

Senior Magistrate Judge Molina is a sought after speaker and teacher, presenting insights and updates on Delaware corporate law, corporate governance, the Court of Chancery’s expectations, discovery in Delaware courts, and other Delaware law and practice matters. Senior Magistrate Judge Molina also teaches at the Delaware Law School and University of Delaware, Biden School of Public Policy & Administration. She teaches legal writing, law and public policy, and a seminar on legal career paths.

During Senior Magistrate Judge Molina’s tenure on the Court of Chancery, she was honored to serve as the Chancellor’s designee on several commissions, including the Delaware Guardianship Commission and the Vulnerable Adults Population Commission. She also represented the Court at the Taiwan Corporate Governance Association’s Corporate Governance Summit in 2024 and as a delegate to Delaware Governor Meyer’s economic development trade mission trip to India in 2026. 

Senior Magistrate Judge Molina was born and raised in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. She began her legal career serving as a Wolcott Fellow to Justice Holland on the Delaware Supreme Court and then as a law clerk to Judge Carpenter on the Delaware Superior Court. She was a corporate and commercial litigator in private practice before Chancellor Bouchard selected her as a Magistrate Judge (then a Master in Chancery) in 2018. After years of growing within the Court of Chancery, training new judges, and taking on leadership roles, she was named by Chancellor McCormick as Senior Magistrate Judge. She retired from that role in March 2026 to join Delaware ADR.
