Judiciary Committee ratings
The Allegheny County Bar Association's Judiciary Committee is a group of 24 lawyers independently elected by the 6,500 members of the ACBA. The Judiciary Committee is charged by the ACBA with evaluating all candidates for local, appellate, and federal courts who reside in Allegheny County.
The Judiciary Committee examines candidates strictly on their merit, without reference to political affiliation or activity. Our Committee also adheres to a strict policy of confidentiality; only the final decision reflecting a candidate's rating is released.
