Born on 6 January 1929 in Dobrova near Slovenske Konjice, his studies at the Faculty of Law in Ljubljana were interrupted by World War II, during which he actively participated in the partisan resistance. Following the war, he graduated from university in 1956 and qualified as a lawyer in 1961. In 1963, he was elected a member of the Executive Committee of the Bar Association of Slovenia, and just two years later at the age of 36, he became its president. He served as president for three terms. Over his career, Šelih received numerous awards for his professional and life achievemnts. Notably, he was the inaugural recipient of the highest Slovenian accolade in the legal profession, the Plaque Dr Danilo Majaron, in 2012, and he also received the Danish Queen Margareta II award. Rudi Šelih passed away on 14 November 2024. It is important to note that for many decades, he was a role model for younger generations of lawyers, mentoring interns, candidates, and young lawyers, many of whom have become successful in their own right. Furthermore, he was the founder of the law firm Šelih & Partners, which continues to uphold his legacyRudi Šelih je bil Odvetnik z veliko začetnico in tak bo ostal v našem spominu za vedno. Rojen je bil 6. januarja 1929 v Dobrovi pri Slovenskih Konjicah. Študij na Pravni fakulteti v Ljubljani je prekinila druga svetovna vojna, v kateri je bil tudi aktivni udeleženec partizanskega odpora. Po vojni je leta 1956 končal fakulteto, leta 1961 pa postal tudi odvetnik. Za člana izvršnega odbora Odvetniške zbornice Slovenije je bil izvoljen leta 1963, že dve leti pozneje pa je bil izvoljen za njenega predsednika, star takrat komaj 36 let. Funkcijo predsednika je opravljal tri mandate. Za svoje poklicno in življenjsko delo je prejel številna priznanja, med drugim je bil prvi dobitnik najvišjega slovenskega priznanja v odvetništvu – plakete dr. Danila Majarona (2012) in nosilec odlikovanja danske kraljice Margarete II. Rudi Šelih nas je zapustil 14. novembra leta 2024, treba pa je poudariti, da je bil številna desetletja vzor mlajšim rodovom odvetnikov, bil mentor generacijam pripravnikov, kandidatov in mladih odvetnikov. Večina od njih je zdaj uspešnih odvetnikov. Navsezadnje je bil ustanovitelj odvetniške pisarne Šelih & partnerji, ki nadaljuje njegovo poslanstvoTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Pravna fakulteta
