Who is Hearing Cases in Judge Koury's Magisterial District?
What's going on with the magisterial vacancy created by Judge Michael Koury's recent election to County Court? In response to a Right-to-Know request, Deputy Court Administrator Jill Cicero has supplied me a copy of a statement she provided to Northampton County Council member John Cusick. "Judge Koury's former Magisterial District Judge position remains vacant. The job is being fulfilled by a compliment [sic] of the seven Senior Magisterial District Judges on a monthly rotational basis. This office ranks 5th out of the fifteen County Magisterial District Judicial Offices in the number of case filings."

I nominate his sister. I'd commit a crime just to get arraigned.
Bought enough sandwiches when I wasn't hungry for that very same reason.
What is the procedure for replacing? I just scanned the NorCo election results and there was no ballot for a replacement. Without looking it up, is the vacancy an appointment until the next Municipal election? If so, who would appoint?
The seat is vacant until the next municipal election. The Governor may make an interim appointment, subject to the advice and consent of the senate.
