Join us for a timely and engaging program highlighting the experiences of newly elected judges as they reflect on their first 100 days on the bench. This unique discussion offers an inside look at the transition from campaign to courtroom, and the realities of stepping into one of the most consequential roles in our justice system.

Panelists will share candid insights on the challenges they’ve faced, the lessons they’ve learned, and the perspectives that have shaped their early decisions. From managing heavy caseloads to upholding judicial ethics and maintaining public confidence, this program explores what it truly means to serve in the judiciary from day one.

Whether you are a legal professional, student, journalist, or engaged community member, this program offers an opportunity to better understand how judges adapt to their roles and how those early experiences can influence the administration of justice. Pennsylvanians for Modern Courts is bringing this important conversation to communities in both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia through our First 100 Days events.
