Pennsylvania Judicial Discipline Handbook
Sarah A. Steers; Joel Fishman
Call Number: KFP525.5.D5S74 2018
Dr. Joel Fishman and Sarah Steers have created the first compendium of Pennsylvania law and jurisprudence in the field of judicial discipline. The 1993 amendment to the PA state charter created a new two-tiered system of judicial discipline, replacing the Judicial Inquiry and Review Board with two independent entities: the Judicial Conduct Board and the Court of Judicial Discipline. The opinions of the Court of Judicial Discipline and the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania that are referenced in this volume serve multiple purposes. Not only do they dispose of cases, they also provide guidance to our judges on the contours of Pennsylvania’s Code of Judicial Conduct and Rules Governing Standards of Conduct of Magisterial District Judges. The authors have also included chapters on recusal and ex parte communications, topics that have not seen significant recent attention in the context of judicial discipline.
