Barry Kauffman, executive director of Pennsylvania Common Cause, said that involving retired judges in discussions about a new bill — instead of one of the Supreme Court's standing committees, as Perzel had requested — would be appropriate.
"As long as no one who's going to have to rule on this is providing advice, and the retired judges don't get involved in future litigation, that might be a reasonable compromise," Kauffman said.
In Cappy's response, which was sent to Perzel on Monday, the chief justice said that involving himself or other sitting judges would likely violate the state Code of Judicial Conduct.
Former judges and justices "would bring years of valued experience which could prove to be both enlightening and important," Cappy wrote.
