Members of the Commission on Judicial Independence

As we provide a voice to the judicial branch, the Commission also will support the fundamentals of our democracy and our constitutional form of government. Through educational programs, panel discussions, community events, public television, and social media, we will promote, preserve, and protect judicial independence in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
