Pennsylvania: On January 4, 2010, the eligibility rules for senior status judges in Pennsylvania changed. The Supreme Court limited senior status to judges whose combined age and years of service total at least 80 years. It was primarily a budgetary decision, since senior judges are paid by the state. Judges hoping to go part-time are not pleased with the decision.[1]
