Merit Selection Gains Ground in Pennsylvania

July 9, 2008

In a press release issued today, PMC and PMCAction Executive Director Lynn Marks noted the great strides made by judicial reform advocates in Pennsylvania this year. Civic, business and legal groups, and reform-minded legislators have joined a growing coalition working to replace partisan election of Pennsylvania's appellate judges with a Merit Selection system. Marks praises their efforts, and looks forward to more progress in the coming legislative session.
