Philadelphia – Tom Duffy, founder of Duffy + Partners, served as moderator for the“Decision 2017 Chancellor’s Forum” on April 18, 2017, hosted by the Philadelphia Bar Association and Pennsylvanians for Modern Courts. The forum brought together nine candidates vying for four seats on the Superior Court of Pennsylvania.
The candidates will compete in a primary election on May 16, 2017. Attendees had an opportunity to hear from each of the candidates and to ask questions.
“Forums like these are so important as they provide a preview of the future,” said Duffy. “The Superior Court of Pennsylvania is often the final arbiter of legal disputes and these individuals will help to set legal precedent in many matters.”
Deborah R. Gross, Chancellor, Philadelphia Bar Association, introduced the candidates. All nine were in attendance: William F. Caye II, Hon. Emil A. Giordano, Hon. Wade A. Kagarise, Hon. Deborah A. Kunselman, Hon. Maria C. McLaughlin, Hon. H. Geoffrey Moulton, Jr., Hon. Carolyn H. Nichols, Hon. Paula A. Patrick and Craig W. Stedman.
