This report highlights noteworthy accomplishments in the administration of the state court system that took place during what was both a very busy and significant year. Administrator Perhaps of greatest significance during the year was the culmination of work of the Interbranch Commission on Juvenile Justice—a collaborative effort among the judicial, executive and legislative branches of government to determine the causes behind a judicial crisis in Luzerne County that scarred families and shattered confidence in the courts. Chaired by Superior Court Judge John M. Cleland, the commission held hearings during the year in Luzerne County and at the Pennsylvania Judicial Center in Harrisburg to study the juvenile justice system and restore public confidence in the administration of justice. The commission ultimately adopted a final report and made a broad series of recommendations for strengthening and improving the justice system statewide. The commission’s recommendations included strengthening the disciplinary systems for judges and lawyers, improving services to victims of juvenile crimes, improving training for lawyers and judges who work in juvenile courts and establishing statewide ethical standards for juvenile probation officers. The report and a summary of all its recommendations was published online on the Web site of Pennsylvania’s Unified Judicial System (www.pacourts.us). A series of court rules changes and proposed legislation followed in addressing the recommendations. Enhancing Public Access to Court Records Also of note during the year was the creation of a new public access policy to improve the process of obtaining records in magisterial v district courts across Pennsylvania. The statewide policy, which went into effect in July 2010, applies to paper records and established uniform standards for responding to requests from the public for court files and documents. The new policy set a written framework for a practice that the courts routinely have followed for many years. Under the policy forms are not required to view records except for requests that are “complex or voluminous.” The policy came not long after the Supreme Court adopted an Electronic Case Record Public Access Policy to govern Preface electronic records in the automated statewide systems of the appellate courts, the Common Pleas criminal courts and the magisterial district courts. from the While most court records are open to the public, the new policy identified some that are not—typically those under court seal and Court restricted by statute or court rule as well as drafts, notes and other “work products” of the magisterial district courts. The policy also dictates that additional information in case records may be withheld if Administrator, the court administrator determines it a risk to personal security, personal privacy or the administration of the courts. The policy also defines information in public court records that must be kept continued confidential such as Social Security numbers and the personal financial information of litigants. The access policy on paper records that evolved in 2010 actually was years in the making and developed by a working group established in 2007, whose task was to revise a 1994 policy on magisterial district court records. The working group was comprised of magisterial district judges, district court administrators, representatives of clerks of courts and prothonotaries’ offices and staff of the AOPC and Supreme Court rules committees. A draft proposal for the policy was made public in March 2008 with a request for public comment. Ensuring Qualified Representation for All Another action in 2010 that complemented earlier actions was the Supreme Court’s approval of regulations governing the appointment and

    AP PHOTO/ERIC GAY PHOTO/ERIC AP Big Business is Still Dominating State Supreme Courts By Billy Corriher September 2016 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Big Business is Still Dominating State Supreme Courts By Billy Corriher September 2016 Contents 1 Introduction and summary 3 Tilting the law in favor of corporations 15 Conclusion: Reform judicial selection to minimize the influence of money 17 About the author 18 Appendix 35 Endnotes Introduction and summary The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the billionaire Koch brothers, and their big- business allies have engaged in a decades-long effort to elect pro-corporate judges to state courts. In 1971, a corporate lawyer named Lewis F. Powell Jr. wrote a secret memo to the chamber arguing that big business was under attack from insti- tutions he perceived as liberal: academics, the media, college students, and politi- cians.1 He also cited the public’s support for legislation to protect consumers and the environment. Powell lamented that “few elements of American society today have as little influence in government as the American businessman, the corpora- tion, or even the millions of corporate stockholders.”2 Powell suggested a solution: The Chamber . should consider assuming a broader and more vigorous role in the political arena. American business and the enterprise system have been affected as much by the courts as by the executive and legislative branches of government. Under our constitutional system, especially with an activist-minded Supreme Court, the judiciary may be the most important instrument for social, economic and political change.3 Later that same year, Powell joined the U.S.
