State Court Portal Expands Availability of Criminal Court Information on the Web

The Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts has expanded the types of information now available at its Unified Judicial System Portal, ujsportal.pacourts.us/main.aspx?id=1.  The Portal has, for several years, been the source of county court local rules.  Also, district justice court and appellate court dockets have been available.

Recently, the site was expanded to allow searches of court scheduling information.  At present, the searches are limited to only criminal cases.  A scheduling search may proceed by attorney name, docket number, date or other criteria.  Searches are county specific and most counties are participating in the project.  Go to ujsportal.pacourts.us/Calendar/calschedsearch.aspx to begin a search.
