Good news from the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Courts: a hearing on the Merit Selection legislation will be held in Harrisburg, Monday December 7 from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm in the Irvis Building, Room G-650.  We thank Subcommittee Chair Don Walko for scheduling the hearing, as well as House sponsors Matt Smith (D, Allegheny) and Will Gabig (R, Cumberland) for their support and leadership.

The hearing is the first step in the legislative consideration of the bills and a critical part of the dialogue Pennsylvania needs to have about changing the way we choose appellate court judges.  Please let your representatives and the members of the House Judiciary Committee know how important this issue is to you.
