Should there be changes in the Court of Judicial Discipline?
The Court of Judicial Discipline is constitutionally created under Article 5, Section 18 of the Pennsylvania Constitution. It replaced the old Judicial Inquiry & Review Board when the constitutional amendments were made in 1993. The judges on that court are appointed both by the governor and by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. There are seats also for laypersons. Unfortunately, at times there are sometimes extreme delays in the appointment by either of those institutions.
