Another John Younge Update

John Younge, currently on the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, is a candidate for the Pennsylvania Superior Court. His website has a lengthy list of endorsements. The Pennsylvania Bar Association rates him as "recommended."

Some infobits from his PA Bar questionnaire:

* he has served on both criminal and civil trials
* in 1983 he ran for a seat on the Philadelphia city council
* he was never sued by a client (some other judicial candidates have, but usually a good explanation is provided)
* he has served as president of the Pennsylvania Conference of State Trial Judges
* in June, 2008 he was named Father of the Year by the Father's Day Rally Committee

On page 16 of the questionnaire you can find his essay on why he wants to serve on the Court. It is well-written and those with a serious interest in evaluating the candidate should read it. I can't cut and paste from the pdf so no excerpts are included here.
