In a letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Bar Association Chancellor Sayde Ladov reaffirms the Philadelphia Bar Association’s long-standing support for Merit Selection.  Noting the Caperton decision and the recent Merit Selection legislation introduced into the Pennsylvania legislature, Chancellor Ladov explains:

With the U.S. Supreme Court bringing more attention to this issue, we must work to ensure that candidates seeking a seat on our state benches are the most qualified, not the most financially or politically connected.

We whole-heartedly agree and are pleased that the Philadelphia Bar Association stands with us in calling for Merit Selection as the solution.
