Stack III, in his Capacity as Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania and President of the Pennsylvania Senate I. INTRODUCTION With its majority decision, this Court has held that the 2011 Plan “plainly, clearly and palpably” violates the Pennsylvania Constitution. All parties, including the Legislative Respondents, exhaustively briefed the issues associated with a constitutional challenge to the gerrymandered congressional map, which was created with obvious partisan intent. This Court conducted an extraordinary session for oral argument, which lasted for over three hours, and thoroughly discussed the issues involved in the challenge. Now, after the Court has rendered its decision, the Legislative Respondents seek disqualification of Justice David Wecht and “full disclosure” from Justice Christine Donohue. Their demand is untimely and should be summarily dismissed.

  • Currents Environmental Rights at Stake in Pennsylvania Supreme
    pennsylvania currents FALL 2015 | PENNSYLVANIA the clean water action newsletter Environmental Rights at Stake in Pennsylvania Supreme Court Election November 3 The outcome of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court election may be the most important of the election season. The Supreme Court has made decisions in many cases critical to health, communities and the environment in the past decade. It will likely play a role in redistricting after the 2020 census and may hear cases related to local governments’ attempts to restrict fracking. The judges on the court matter. In 2013 Pennsylvania passed Act 13, which stripped local municipalities of the ability to use zoning to protect communities from the dangers associated with natural gas drilling. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court struck down this provision. The Court ruled Act 13 was unconstitutional because it violated the Pennsylvania Constitution’s Environmental Rights Amendment which states “the people have a right to clean air, pure water, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and esthetic values of the environment. Pennsylvania’s public natural resources are the common property of all the people, including generations yet to come.” The three vacancies on the court are judges who ruled with the majority in this landmark case. Clean Water Action has endorsed the following candidates for Pennsylvania Supreme Court because they have demonstrated a commitment in their personal and judicial philosophy to protecting public health and our environmental rights: DAVID WECHT Judge Wecht serves on the Superior Court of Pennsylvania and is “Highly Recommended” by the Pennsylvania Bar Association. As a Superior Court judge, he has considered numerous environmental issues — ranging from regulations dealing with fracking and mineral rights contracts, to land-use issues related to conservation easements.

  • Pdfaclu-PA Opposition to HB 38 PN 17 House
    MEMORANDUM TO: ​Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee FROM: ​Elizabeth Randol, Legislative Director, ACLU of Pennsylvania DATE: ​January 12, 2021 RE: OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL 38 P.N. 17 (DIAMOND) ​ ​ Background House Bill 38 ​(PN 17) is a proposed amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution that would create judicial districts for the purpose of electing judges and justices to Pennsylvania’s appellate courts. While judges and justices on the Commonwealth, Superior, and Supreme Courts are currently elected at-large across the state, the proposed amendment would allow the legislature to draw geographic districts based on population. The stated reason for this amendment is to create a more geographically diverse judiciary and limit the number of judges and justices from Allegheny and Philadelphia counties.1 Proposed constitutional amendments must pass with identical language in two consecutive sessions. Having passed last session, if HB 38 passes for a second time this session, it could be placed on the ballot for ratification as early as the May primary. If approved by a simple majority vote of electors, it would become part of the Pennsylvania Constitution. On behalf of over 100,000 members and supporters of the ACLU of Pennsylvania, I respectfully urge you to oppose House Bill 38 (PN 17). Bill Summary House Bill 38 would: ■ Create seven districts for the election of Supreme Court justices, one for each justice on the Court; ■ Create judicial districts for the election of Superior Court judges, in a number determined by the 2 legislature;

  • PA Supreme Court Announces New Work Product Doctrine Waiver Analysis with Regard to Dissemination of Information to Third Parties
    PA Supreme Court Announces New Work Product Doctrine Waiver Analysis with Regard to Dissemination of Information to Third Parties Healthcare Alert | June 24, 2019 By: Daniel Ferhat and Laura Hutchinson On June 18, 2019, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court announced a new attorney work product waiver analysis in BouSamra v. Excela Health. The central holding of the Supreme Court’s decision in BouSamra is that the attorney work product doctrine is not waived by disclosure unless the alleged work product is disclosed to an adversary or disclosed in a manner which significantly increases the likelihood that an adversary or anticipated adversary will obtain it. The work product doctrine, codified in Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 4003.3, protects the disclosure of mental impressions, conclusions, opinions, notes or summaries, or legal theories of a party’s attorney, respecting the value or merit of a claim or defense or respecting strategy or tactics. Considering confidentiality is not a cornerstone of this privilege, disclosure to a third-party does not always undermine the purpose of the work product protection. Prior to BouSamra, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court had declined to comment on the work product doctrine waiver issue. However, in BouSamra, Justice Sallie Updyke Mundy, who wrote the opinion on behalf of the majority, pointed out that the work product doctrine has become confused or conflated with the standards applied to the attorney-client privilege. The Supreme Court explained that the attorney-client privilege is designed to protect confidentiality, such that any disclosure outside the attorney-client relationship is inconsistent with the privilege. By contrast, the work product protection is invoked against adversaries and does not exist to protect a confidential relationship.

  • Winning Lawyer Says Pa. Supreme Court Ruling Clears up Deadlines
    Winning Lawyer Says Pa. Supreme Court Ruling Clears Up Deadlines for Both Sides, Opponent Says Not So Much "In arguing this before the Supreme Court, all you can hope for is a rule that's fair for both plaintiffs and defendants," said the winning lawyer, Joseph Mayers of The Mayers Firm. "I think Justice Baer outlined such a rule." By Katheryn Tucker I April 02, 2021 The first word in deadline is dead. Period. That's the bottom line of an opinion from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court throwing out a lawsuit over missing the deadline for notifying the other side. “We hold that a trial court has the discretion to dismiss a complaint when a plaintiff fails to offer proof that she diligently attempted to serve process on a defendant in a timely manner and there is no evidence to indicate that the defendant had actual notice of the commencement of the action in the relevant time frame, regardless of whether the plaintiff acted or failed to act intentionally," Justice Max Baer wrote in a March 25 ruling (http://www.pacourts.us/assets/opinions/Supreme/out/J-74- 2020mo%20-%20104727496130809348.pdf?cb=1). He was joined by Justices Thomas Saylor, Debra Todd and Kevin Dougherty. They upheld the trial court and the Pennsylvania Superior Court in tossing a lawsuit Rhasheena Gussom filed against Maurice Teagle in 2018 over injuries from a 2016 car wreck. The lower courts dismissed her complaint saying she had failed to serve notice by the deadline imposed by the two-year statute of limitations. The record shows she tried to serve him in Pennsylvania, but heard he'd moved to Virginia and doesn't say what happened after that.

As you may be aware, Congress has appropriated more than $1.5 billion in emergency rental assistance to the Commonwealth to address rent and utility delinquencies created due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, the United States Supreme Court recently invalidated the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) eviction moratorium. Very few counties had a rental assistance program ready for the sudden influx of money for emergency rental assistance from the Consolidated Appropriation Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan. The lack of existing programs required counties to build new programs before assistance could begin flowing to landlords and tenants.
