Administrative Office of PA Courts Overview

Before 1700, the Pennsylvania judicial system originated as a disparate collection of local, part-time courts inherited from the reign of the Duke of York and established by William Penn. At this time, no courts could be called the court of final appeal; all final appeals were taken to England for veto power. Several attempts were made to unify the colony's judicial system and establish a court of final appeal, but failed. Over the course of three centuries, it took until 2009 and the building of the Pennsylvania Judicial Center, that the judiciary finally had a formal home within the capitol ...complex in Harrisburg. The Judicial Center serves as an administrative headquarters for Pennsylvanias courts which are administered by the Supreme Court. More
