Judges make important decisions every day that affect your life.

The Pennsylvania Bar Association has created PAVoteSmart to help you better understand the functions of the commonwealth's judges and courts.

In addition, for registered voters, PAVoteSmart serves as an information source about judicial candidates when electing new judges and during balloting for merit-retention of appellate and common pleas judges.

This site, which launched before the 2007 primary election, will be updated with candidate information during upcoming elections. So, bookmark this site for your future use.

November 2007 Election Results

PAVoteSmart is wholly nonpartisan, and a candidate's listing does not constitute an endorsement of any candidate by the Pennsylvania Bar Association.
