Superior Court of Pennsylvania

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Superior Court of Pennsylvania is the intermediate court of appeal in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, between the trial court of general jurisdiction -- called the Court of Common Pleas -- and the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Appeal to the Superior Court is generally of right from final decisions of the Court of Common Pleas. Although different panels of three judges may sit to hear appeals, there is only one Superior Court (that is, Pennsylvania is not divided into appellate territories). The court is based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and sits to hear cases in several locations across the state.
