• What are judicial retention elections? Why do we have them?
• What do different Pennsylvania courts do? Who are the candidates for those courts?
• What is the process for electing judges?
• What is the process for replacing judges who retire, reach a term limit, or are not retained?
• What are current judicial term limits? How can citizens change them?
• What are good sources of nonpartisan information on judges up for election or retention?
• Why election advertising is like all advertising? (It’s a sales pitch.)

Guests include:

• Judith Kraines: Moderator. Member of the League of Women Voters of Berks County.
