Philadelphia Bar Association Chancellor-elect Sayde Ladov called upon Gov. Edward G. Rendell to release more than $200 million in capital funds to build a new Family Court building during her address Monday as leader of the association in 2009.

During the organized bar’s annual meeting Monday, Ladov also asked Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter to “even in this time of cutbacks, to find a creative solution to fund whatever shortfall there may be in construction costs and get this building built.”
