Records of the SUPERIOR COURT
Created in 1895 to relieve the Supreme Court of some of its heavy workload, the
Superior Court was made a constitutional court in 1968. An intermediate appellate
court with only limited original jurisdiction, the Superior Court hears all appeals
from the Courts of Common Pleas which are not exclusively assigned to the Supreme
or Commonwealth courts. At present, the Court hears cases in Philadelphia, Harrisburg
and Pittsburgh, although until the mid-1960's, it also sat in Scranton.
