The Job

Pennsylvanians voters will elect a Justice to fill one seat on the State Supreme Court, the highest court in the Commonwealth.  Justices of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania hear appeals from lower-level state courts, and are the final arbiter of state law.  These seven justices are elected to ten-year terms.

Voters will choose one.

Jack Panella (Democrat)

Joan Orie Melvin (Republican)
