It is a critical year for statewide judge elections, particularly because 3 new Supreme Court judges will be elected.

Here are the PA. Bar Association evaluations of candidates for PA. Supreme Court, and the Statewide Commonwealth Court and Superior Courts (which are intermediate/appellate courts).

The three Dem. candidates for Supreme Court who are "highly recommended" are Wecht, Donahue and Lazarus.
