The Pennsylvania Bar Association has reiterated its recommendations that all six sitting appellate court judges be retained in November’s general election.
Those judges are: Supreme Court Justice J. Michael Eakin; Superior Court judges John T. Bender and Mary Jane Bowes; and Commonwealth Court judges Renée Cohn Jubelirer, Mary Hannah Leavitt and Robert E. Simpson Jr.
The state bar’s judicial evaluation commission also rated Judge David N. Wecht, of Allegheny County, as a highly recommended candidate for Superior Court.
