Judge Matt Wolf for Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court

---

Since 2021, Judge Wolf has been working with the National Center for State Courts through a grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts.  He is the only Judge for Commonwealth Court in this election.

In making changes to court policy, Judge Wolf listens to both sides of cases as well as all court stakeholders who should have a say in how the court is run.

Changes made during Judge Wolf's tenure include the revision of the court's website to an appropriate reading comprehension level, with interactivity and explanatory videos.  This Commonwealth Court Election is important.  Changes can be made for equity and access to justice.

A reputable study found a disproportionate impact in alleged debt cases on single parent, women of color, heads of household.  Judge Wolf wants to reduce default judgments 

Judge Wolf is aware of the interplay between debt and housing in Pennsylvania.  People with Judgments against them have a hard time finding housing.  Without compromising creditors, how can we reduce he negative impact that judgments have on housing?  Solutions must be found!

Judge Wolf's work on policy issues that may reduce Judgments and Default Judgments will never affect the rights of creditors.  The question is:  How can we help people without tipping the scale?
