'Equal justice' guides state court hopeful

“Everyone is entitled to ‘equal justice under law,’ ” Stabile said during a stop at The Times Leader Oct. 24. “I despise when politics makes its way to the court system. It erodes the judicial system.”

Stabile, 54, of Carlisle, opposes David N. Wecht, currently a common pleas court judge in Allegheny County, for the only open seat on the state Superior Court.

Stabile said there are far more registered Democrats than Republicans in Pennsylvania, but the state House and Senate have Republican majorities and Gov. Tom Corbett is also a member of the GOP.

“I really don’t think statewide registration numbers are very important now,” Stabile said. “My campaign is about telling voters who I am and what I’m about.”

Stabile has nearly 30 years of broad legal experience that he would bring to the Superior Court bench. He is a 1982 graduate of the Dickinson School of Law, where he was a member of the Law Review and the president of the Student Bar Association. Upon graduation, he was selected to serve as an appellate court clerk in the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania.

In anticipation of National Pro Bono Week (October 23–29), the Pro Bono Program is pleased to announce that the application for the 2012 Pro Bono in January trip will be available on Monday, October 24.  Pro Bono in January is an annual winter break trip that gives law students the opportunity to engage in meaningful pro bono work in low-income communities.  This year, the Pro Bono Program will take forty to fifty students as well as several faculty members to the Texas Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, and El Paso during the second week of January.

This will be Pro Bono in January’s third year in the Valley.  A group of students will work with attorneys with Texas RioGrande Legal Aid and the South Texas Civil Rights Project to staff wills clinics in various Valley cities. Under the supervision of local attorneys, students will interview low-income property owners about their estate needs and help draft wills for them.  In addition, the students will undertake field research for a major study for the Texas Legislature on the use of contracts for deed in Texas colonias, a project of the LBJ School of Public Affairs and the Law School’s William Wayne Justice Center for Public Interest Law....

UT Law Magazine – National Pro Bono Week at UT Law: Spotlight ...

In recognition of National Pro Bono Week (October 23–29, 2011), the UT Law Pro Bono Program celebrates the pro bono efforts of members of the Law School community.

Recently the Pro Bono Program spoke with Jake Gilbreath, a 2009 UT Law graduate and an attorney at Piper & Turner PLLC, about his pro bono work in family law.

Gilbreath had his first experience with family law when he participated in the UT Law Domestic Violence Clinic for two semesters. He tried a contested case in front of a judge at the end of his first semester. “The judge still mentions that case to this day,” Gilbreath said. “There’s honestly no better way to learn than to do the clinic.”
