The Historical Society of the Superior Court of Pa. has launched a website to preserve, educate and promote the history of the court. “The PBA commends the historical society’s creation of the website, shortly after the Superior Court marked its 125th year,” said PBA President Kathleen D. Wilkinson. “PBA members will immediately note that many of the included articles were written by judges for the PBA Quarterly and The Pennsylvania Lawyer. That speaks well of the court’s historical outreach to our lawyer members.”

As COVID-19 cases increase, the Superior Court of Pa. is requiring all persons to wear masks in any court facility. The court has also adopted a policy that in-person arguments are at the discretion of the Argument Court Panel. “The legal community is grateful that the well-being of those appearing before the court have been carefully considered in these newly-released protocols,” said PBA President Kathleen D. Wilkinson. Get more information.
