The Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania is led by the oldest court in North America, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Madam Chief Justice Debra Todd leads the Court. Two appellate courts, the Superior Court and Commonwealth Court, sit as intermediate courts, hearing appeals from the general trial courts. Pennsylvania is divided into 60 general trial court/specialty court judicial districts. The 39th Judicial District serves Franklin and Fulton counties. Five Common Pleas Judges serve as general jurisdiction judges, presiding over jury trials, civil, criminal, juvenile, divorce, custody, estates, wills and guardianship matters in courthouses located in Chambersburg and McConnellsburg, the respective county seats.
Ten Magisterial District Judges preside over traffic and non-traffic criminal cases, landlord tenant and civil matters in district court offices located throughout both counties. AOPC provides comprehensive support and management to the judiciary. Court-supervised departments in both counties include probation and parole departments for adults and juveniles and domestic relations sections. In total, there are over 100 court-supervised employees and staff serving the citizens of the district.
