The Qualification of Judicial Candidates

Previewing our groundbreaking April 19 Meeting:

RCL holds a Special Judicial Election Forum!

Don’t miss next week’s pre-Primary forum for local judicial candidates – and a revealing look into the selection and nomination process. The event has gained local media interest because it’s an unusual attempt to pull the curtain back on how candidates, often with low public recognition or without a qualified rating from the Bar Association, are chosen to run for powerful, lengthy judgeships.

The innovative, newsworthy program was conceived by Past President Wally Otto. He has been the spark for making it happen, despite pushback from some in the political establishment. Ironically, the event is taking on an unexpected newsworthy spin as some candidates for the May primary and the political party that nominated them have backed out. However, the Lancaster County Bar Association will participate.

Don’t miss this very important event. A preregistration process for the April 19 meeting will be announced next week. Members will be permitted to invite two guests, and must accompany them nto the meeting. Watch for full details in next week’s Transmitter!
