The students of PA Youth Voice interview Judge Nichols, a Superior Court judge from Pennsylvania. We talk about bias in the court room, being a trauma informed judge, and rehabilitation in the justice system. We also get to learn about her own journey of becoming a judge and some key cases that have impacted how she rules today. 

Questions asked by PA Youth Votes members: Giulia, Anika, Laqueenda, Tasfia, Gayatri, Sheyla, and Alex

Welcome to our first official episode of PA Youth Voices! In this episode, we will cover the basics of the judicial system and judicial election process in Pennsylvania. It can be very confusing so hopefully the way we have broken up the topics will help you understand everything better. This episode begins with an introduction to judges, an explanation of the Pennsylvania court system, details of the judges in running in each court level, and ends with some ballot issues and some ways to help. Hosts in this episode: Sajda, Gauri, Sehaj, Gayatri, Maryem, Samyah, Laqueenda, and Anika.
