Edit Profile
Education
He graduated from Vanderbilt University Law School in 1966, where he was an assistant editor of the Vanderbilt Law Review.
Career
Between the years 1966 and 1981, he was in private practice. He was elected district justice in 1970, serving until he was elected to the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas in 1981. He was elected to the Pennsylvania Superior Court in 1997.
During the campaign, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette profiled a number of Allegheny County judges who were neglecting their judicial duties while running for higher office, but singled Musmanno out as a judge who maintained a full case load during the campaign.
During the election, the Pennsylvania Bar Association endorsed him, describing him as "highly regarded for his intelligence, courteousness, fairness, judicial temperament and professionalism."
He took senior status in late December 2012/early January 2013.
