Merit Selection On the Agenda in Pennsylvania
We are pleased to report that the Subcommittee on Courts of the House Judiciary Committee will be holding two hearings on the pending legislation to amend the constitution to implement Merit Selection for the appellate courts. We thank Representative Don Walko, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Courts, for scheduling hearings in Pennsylvania and giving the people an opportunity to discuss this important issue.
The Philadelphia hearing will be Wednesday September 2 at 10:00 am in Courtoom 676 in City Hall.
The Pittsburgh hearing will be held Wednesday September 9 at 10:00 am in Room 330 of the Frick Building, 437 Grant Street.
The hearings are open to the public, and we will offer detailed coverage on our blog, including links to testimony submitted.
The hearings are an important first step in the critical process of allowing the people of Pennsylvania to decide whether to change the way we select appellate court judges.
