Gov. Thomas Corbett has nominated Delaware County Judge Patricia Jenkins to a vacancy on the Superior Court of Pennsylvania.

Judge Jenkins would begin serving if confirmed by a two-thirds majority of the Pennsylvania Senate. She would continue serving until Jan. 2016. Pennsylvania voters will choose someone in the Nov. 2015 general election to serve in the seat for a full 10-year term. She would fill a spot created when Supreme Court Justice Correale Stevens was appointed to the state’s highest court.

Judge Jenkins has served in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas since 1993. Before that she was a private practitioner and a county human services solicitor. She also has taught at Widener University and Villanova University.

She holds an undergraduate degree in political science from Albright College, a master’s in tax law from Villanova and a law degree from Dickinson School of Law.
