“From her 10 years as a Magistrate Judge on the federal bench to her appointment by Chief Justice Roberts to the Judicial Conference Committee on Codes of Conduct to her work in the community helping seniors and children, Judge Mehalchick has devoted her life and career to serving Pennsylvanians and advancing the cause of justice,” said Casey. “Her deep sense of community, vast courtroom experience, and commitment to the rule of law make her make well-qualified for this critical role and I look forward to voting to swiftly confirm her.”
