Abstract
A unified judicial system was created in 1968 to provide some direction to Pennsylvania's 60 judicial districts. The report gives an overview of the State's judicial system, discusses activities of the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts, and lists members of various advisory boards and committees. A total of 25 tables and 3 figures present data on disciplinary cases against lawyers, types of judicial misconduct, caseloads, criminal dispositions, civil complaints, filings and dispositions, and judiciary funding.
