Remembering Chief Justice Max Baer

Authors

Kim Berkeley Clark

Abstract

When Max Baer was elected to the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas in 1989, the Family Division was thought of as a place for new judges to be assigned and then leave as soon as possible. Judges and lawyers alike often characterized the work of the Family Division as less important than the work in other divisions because there are no jury trials, because of the high number of selfrepresented and unrepresented parties struggling to be heard, and due to the mistaken belief that rules were not followed.
