There’s been great coverage around the state of the debate Pennsylvanians for Modern Courts (PMC) co-sponsored with the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania and students at Temple’s Beasley School of Law.  Lynn Marks, executive director of PMC, after a glowing introduction by Beasley’s Dean JoAnne Epps, moderated the panel of questioners. PMC’s associate director Shira Goodman, also of JudgesOnMerit.org, was one of four panelists who asked the candidates questions.  The panel did not pull any punches, and neither did the candidates.  See the coverage below for more details.
