The lawsuit lists Governor Corbett and Treasure McCord as defendants. It alleges judges have been singled out because of their age, and not their ability.

The lawsuit was filed by attornies representing the following judges:
Judge John Driscoll
Judge John W. Herron
Senior Judge Benjamin Lerner
Judge Sandra Mazer Moss
Judge Joseph D. O'Keefe
Judge Leonard N. Zito
