Merit Selection Hearing Scheduled for December 7 in Harrisburg

November 25, 2009

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.
