I have previously blogged about the outstanding and one of a kind Discovery Master Program that exists in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas. I also previously blogged that three of the Discovery Masters, myself, Michael Trachtman and Robert Morris were being transferred from Discovery Masters to Civil Case Managers.
As a result of the transfers that left 3 vacancies with our Discovery Masters. I am pleased to report that those vacancies have been filled. The Court has now appointed Bruce Pancio Esquire, Jacqueline Reynolds, Esquire and James Manion Esquire. It is anticipated that they will commence hearing arguments in April.
It is with mixed emotions that I report that last Friday I sat for the last time as a Discover Master. I have served since September 2011 and probably presided over 200 discovery management conferences and over 1,000 oral arguments. I will miss some aspects and others I will not. However, I look forward to my new position and my new role in assisting the Court. Whether it is the 9 Discovery Masters or the 7 Civil Case Managers, the masters serve a valuation role in our system in Montgomery County.
