Judge Alice Beck Dubow has served Pennsylvanians with distinction on the Superior Court since being elected in 2015. She is up for retention.
Before joining the Superior Court, she served eight years on the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia County. Her prior legal career included roles as Deputy General Counsel at Drexel University, Divisional Deputy City Solicitor, and attorney at prominent firms Wolf, Block, Schorr and Solis-Cohen, and Fineman and Bach. These diverse roles have given her a broad understanding of how legal rulings affect communities, institutions, and individuals across Pennsylvania.
A University of Pennsylvania graduate, cum laude, and Penn Law alumna, Judge Dubow began her career clerking for the Honorable Edward G. Biester. She has been honored with awards such as the Brandeis Society’s “Justice, Justice, You Shall Pursue” Award, the Howard Lesnick Pro Bono Award from Penn Law, and recognition from the Lawyers’ Club of Philadelphia.
Her leadership extends into judicial reform and education, having chaired the Juvenile Procedural Rules Committee, served as Vice Chair of the Continuing Judicial Education Board, and contributed as a member of both the Judicial Conduct Board and the American Law Institute.
Committed to community service, she currently sits on, or has previously served on, the boards of the Stoneleigh Foundation, Carson Valley Children’s Aid, and the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. A lifelong Southeast Pennsylvania resident, Judge Dubow is a wife, mother, dog lover, and proud grandmother. She comes from a family of trailblazing women in law—her mother, Phyllis Beck, was the first woman on Superior Court, and her daughter, Rebecca, is a practicing attorney in New York.
Judge Dubow’s rich legal experience, community involvement, and family legacy reflect her deep understanding of the real-world impact of judicial decisions and her enduring service to the people of Pennsylvania.
