[edit] Term "Commonwealth"

Could someone clarify the term "commonwealth" for this topic? I knew it formerly only in relation to the British Isles, Canada, Australia and a handful of other former British colonies but have meanwhile read through Commonwealth_(United_States) (a useful link for this article perhaps?)

I'm just wondering if there is any fundamental difference as opposed to "State Courts" ?

This is called the Commonwealth Court because Pennsylvania is one of 5 US States that are technically Commonwealths. I don't think this needs to be addressed in the article. --RedShiftPA (talk) 23:53, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Judges

There needs to be articles on these judges. I will work on that over the next few months.--RedShiftPA (talk) 23:53, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
