Pennsylvania Supreme Court

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is the highest judicial authority in the state, responsible for interpreting state laws and the state constitution. It reviews cases from lower courts, ensures laws are applied consistently, and has the authority to overturn decisions that violate legal principles. The court also oversees the administration of the state's judicial system and plays a key role in shaping legal precedents in Pennsylvania. Consisting of several justices elected or appointed under specific procedures, it functions as the ultimate arbiter on important legal and constitutional matters within the state.
