Dear Colleague:
Pursuant to Section 7.4.2.1 of the Philadelphia Bar Association Bylaws, the Commission on Judicial Selection and Retention is requesting your professional opinion concerning the qualifications of those judges seeking retention in November 2021. Your responses to the poll will remain anonymous.
The results of this poll will be considered by the Commission along with other pertinent information developed in its investigation. The Commission will report its findings and recommendations to the Philadelphia Bar and to the public.
Again this year, we are also conducting an interim poll relating to Judges in the Court of Common Pleas in the fourth year of their terms and Municipal Court Judges in the second year of their terms. This interim poll is being conducted strictly for the information of the individual judges and
will not be disseminated to the public.
This survey will remain available for completion until Friday, May 14, 2021, at 5:00 PM.
By responding to this questionnaire with the utmost care and candor, you will be doing your part in our effort to assure an independent, able and effective judiciary for our city. Thank you for your cooperation.
Kind regards,
Lauren P. McKenna
Chancellor
