Chief Justice Announces State of Commonwealth's Courts Report
The Honorable Ralph J. Cappy, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, has announced the release of the first State of the Commonwealth's Courts Report, 2006. The 12-page booklet addresses many of the challenges facing the judiciary, as well as solutions to enhance judicial administration through automation, innovation, education and intergovernmental collaboration. Several of the judiciary’s notable successes are also highlighted.
“Many positive initiatives are ongoing to help make Pennsylvania’s
courts more responsive, efficient, ever more fair, and always in accord with
the Rule of Law,” the chief justice said. “I hope that this ‘state
of the judiciary’ offers a useful snapshot of much that we are about
now, and for our future.”
More than 25 state court systems currently produce similar documents.
