Whether we realize it or not — the Pennsylvania State Courts play a crucial role in our lives, often having the final say on state election issues, environmental rules, and ensuring equal treatment and justice for all. Yet, many of us don’t know exactly how Pennsylvania’s judicial system works or how judges are elected in the Commonwealth.

Join us for an informative and engaging event designed for everyday residents who want to better understand our courts and how judicial elections shape our communities – and how the court system can be a tool for environmental protection and holding polluters accountable. Learn how you can make informed choices at the ballot box.
