There are now three attorneys who wish to succeed Magisterial District Judge Jim Narlesky when he retires at the end of this year. Paul Schaffer, who lives in Hanover Township resident with his wife Susan, declared his candidacy yesterday. The magisterial district includes Hanover Township and Bethlehem’s 14th ward.
Schaffer is a graduated from Ohio Northern University School of Law, where he served on Law Review. Admitted to practice law in Pennsylvania in 1981, he worked with Scherline and Associates until 1995. He was then hired by Nationwide Insurance as an in-house trial counsel. Though his office is in Plymouth Meeting, he told me he's only there about three times a month. He mostly works out of his home. Since then, he has had an active litigation practice in the Lehigh Valley.
Bethlehem Attorneys Vivian Zumas and Michael Recchiuti have also announced their candidacy.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
