Over the past few months, five longtime judges on the First Judicial District have resigned from the bench, most recently Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge M. Teresa Sarmina, whose last official day with the court is Sunday.

Along with Sarmina, Judges Rosalyn Robinson and Amanda Cooperman stepped down over the summer after decades on the bench. The three recent departures were joined by Judge Lisa Rau, who is set to step down from the bench in early October, and Judge John Milton Younge, who was appointed to a federal judgeship in late July.
