Two district judges recertified

Magisterial District judges William J. Kissner of Palmerton and Eric M. Schrantz of Jim Thorpe were again certified for service as a member of Pennsylvania’s Unified Judicial System after successful completion recently of continuing legal education course work.

Conducted by the Minor Judiciary Education Board and the Administration Office of Pennsylvania Courts, the educational program for Magisterial District Judges is held in Harrisburg.

The weeklong instructional program is designed to ensure that Magisterial District Judges remain current in a variety of legal topics and management techniques required to fairly adjudicate cases and effectively supervise a district court office.
