To the editor:

As the current president of the Pennsylvania Bar Association, it is my duty to listen to the concerns of our 27,000 members and to speak on their behalf. I also am called upon occasionally to participate in law-related educational programs and to assist the public in its understanding of how our legal system works to protect the rights of our citizens. One area of particular concern to me is that of judicial independence. I firmly believe that our form of government – three co-equal branches of government working cooperatively for the public good – is central to our way of life. It is for that reason that I write in response to recent news articles that focus on the business expenses of the justices of Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court.
