Bucks magisterial district judge recertified

Bucks County Magisterial District Judge Terrence Hughes was again certified for service as a member of the Pennsylvania Judiciary after successfully completing continuing legal education course work.

Conducted by the Minor Judiciary Education Board and the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts, the educational program for magisterial district judges (MDJs) is held at the Pennsylvania Judicial Center in Harrisburg, and with distance education. The 32-hour instructional program is designed to keep MDJs current in a variety of legal topics and management techniques necessary to efficiently and fairly adjudicate cases and supervise a magisterial district court office.

Continuing education course work is required by statute for each of the more than 500 Pennsylvania MDJs to complete annually.
