UPDATE: A Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling (420 A.2d 439, 491 Pa. 255) overruled this commission opinion. The
court ruling states that the Ethics Commission has no jurisdiction over incumbent judges; therefore they are not
covered under Act 170 -1978, The Ethics Act. Further the commission extended this non - coverage to incumbent
district justices and incumbent constables.
