Judge Scott DiClaudio is under scrutiny from the Pennsylvania Judicial Conduct Board for alleged ethical violations concerning his involvement with Shay's Steaks, a cheesesteak restaurant owned by his wife. The board claims he used his judicial status to promote the eatery, as he discussed operational details in a podcast. DiClaudio defends his actions, stating he plays a support role allowed under ethical guidelines, even as he navigates health issues and parenting demands. The board's complaint underscores his judicial status in media coverage of the restaurant, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
This complaint is such a farce,â DiClaudio stated, arguing that his role as a judge does not influence customers visiting the restaurant, as itâs focused on quality and support.
I have a support role, which I'm permitted to have,â DiClaudio said, defending his involvement in restaurant operations such as pricing and hiring, emphasizing it adheres to ethical standards.
