    Quron Banks is not your average Delaware County man. He is very well known in the community for his involvement in public events, political advocacy and youth mentoring.

    Hazel started his career on the bench in 1982 for thirty years, coming to an end in 2012. In January 2012, Judge Hazel assumed Senior Judge status.

    Prior to his elevation to the Bench, Judge Hazel served as District Attorney of Delaware County for six years. During his tenure as District Attorney, Judge Hazel served as President of the Pennsylvania District Attorneys’ Association and Chairman of the Pennsylvania District Attorneys’ Association’s Task Force on Wire-tapping and Electronic Surveillance.
