Webinar Series: Navigating Pennsylvania’s 2025 Judicial Elections

Part 1: How the PA Supreme Court Impacts Every Pennsylvanian

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is one of the most influential state courts in the country. From voting rights to public education to criminal justice, its rulings set precedents that shape policy and daily life across the Commonwealth.

In this first session of Navigating Pennsylvania’s 2025 Judicial Elections, join C70’s Andrew McGinley and Tanisha Bezue as they move beyond the basics to explore SCOPA’s unique role, its recent high-impact cases, and why the Court is often at the center of Pennsylvania’s most consequential debates. They’ll also revisit highlights from our Behind the Ballot: PA Supreme Court Retention Elections fireside chat with the justices themselves, offering fresh insights into how the justices view their responsibilities and the retention process.

Each part of this webinar series aims to leave you with a deeper understanding of Pennsylvania’s courts and the power voters hold in shaping their future.

Free to attend. Register here to join us virtually.
