I am a lawyer with an active practice in a number of different counties in Pennsylvania. One issue that always creates a problem is when a judge does not appear timely on the bench. Hearings are listed for 8:30 or 9 a.m., and when the judge doesn’t show up until 10:30 or 11, that obviously creates problems not only for the court system and litigants but for the lawyers who often have multiple cases they have to attend to. Is there anything that can be done about that?
It is always difficult to criticize a judge, particularly about their tardy conduct. Criticism can result in problems down the line.
