Smart Voter Full Biography for Christine Adair

Candidate for
Judge; Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas; District 1

This information is provided by the candidate

I have lived in federal and local courtrooms for over thirty years, first as a Public Defender and then as a litigator with my own firm. I now sit on the bench as a Dependency Master in Family Court. I am called upon to make critical decisions that have a serious impact on the lives of children. The first hand knowledge I gained from trying literally thousands of cases, including capital homicides, has been invaluable in reaching sound decisions on the cases before me.

Some say I am honest to a fault. I will bring experience, integrity and compassion to the bench if elected. I work hard and expect those who appear in my courtroom to do the same. I am on the ballots for two courts, as I believe I have the background and knowledge to be an asset to either one. In this case, it is permissible to vote twice. The bottom line is that I have fought my entire life to make sure everyone is treated fairly who has cause to enter a courtroom. I plan to continue to do so.
