Voters across the Lehigh Valley are choosing a number of judicial seats in the May 18 primary, including magisterial district judges.
District judges handle preliminary arraignments and preliminary hearings in criminal cases to determine if the cases will move on to county court, as well as landlord-tenant disputes, traffic offenses and civil actions where the amount claimed does not exceed $12,000.
District judges serve six-year terms, and are paid an annual salary of $93,338. Some incumbents are running unopposed this year, and incumbents are identified on this list by an “I” after their name.
