Seth was assigned to half of the criminal and civil matters in Judge Bartle’s chambers, including one of the nation’s largest multidistrict litigation. Before clerking for Judge Bartle, Seth clerked for the Honorable Abbe F. Fletman in the Civil Trial Division of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.
