The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania adopted a set of rules for maintaining court operations in a pandemic, natural disaster or other public emergency, according to a statement from the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts.
“In the event of a catastrophic occurrence such as a terrorist attack, major flood or public health emergency, it is important that the courts remain open and able to perform essential functions,” said Chief Justice of Pennsylvania Ronald D. Castille, in a statement. “These new rules are designed to ensure that the Supreme Court, the president judges of the Common Pleas Courts and court administrators can respond quickly and effectively in a crisis.”
