Fourth judge sought for county in Pennsylvania bill
Lawrence County may gain a fourth full time judge if Senate legislation creating more judgeships passes. The county is not named yet, but local judges and commissioners urged inclusion. Sen Mary Jo White says the bill has cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee and may be amended to include Lawrence County. If approved, the new judges would take effect January 2, 2002 and be filled by the 2001 municipal elections after space and cost concerns are addressed by the county commissioners.
