PA Superior Court

Alice Beck Dubow
Alice Beck Dubow says, "For the past nine years, I have reviewed countless criminal convictions, child custody decisions, orders regarding juveniles, civil verdicts and orders about wills. My guiding principles are twofold: first, to follow the existing law and second, when I can to interpret the law, to show a sensitivity to the impact that the law has on the individuals involved, the neighborhoods affected, and the communities impacted. I hope to carry this sensitivity to more appeals in the next ten years."
PA Commonwealth Court
