Upholding Justice at the Intermediate Appellate Level
The Pennsylvania Superior Court is a statewide intermediate appellate court that reviews appeals in criminal and most civil cases from the Courts of Common Pleas. Its decisions help ensure Pennsylvania law is applied consistently across the Commonwealth and provide guidance to trial courts through published opinions.
Many matters reach the Superior Court after a final order in the trial court. Appeals are typically decided based on the written briefs and the certified record, and the court also hears oral argument sessions in locations that include Pittsburgh when scheduled.
