Judge the Judges: How to Vote in Next Week’s Judicial Election

Big election coming up next week, Philly. And while you may know the candidates in the race for district attorney, unless you are an extremely informed voter, you cannot name any of the people on the ballot running to be judge – and you don’t even know how you’re supposed to decide which candidates you favor. To help us understand how to make sense of all of the judicial candidates for four different courts listed on the May 20th primary ballot, we’re bringing in an expert: Matt Olesh is the chair of the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Campaign for Qualified Judges.

See which judges the Philadelphia Bar Association recommends here.
