Philadelphia Courts - Public Access

Access to proceedings to which a right to public and press access exists is being provided through the below links. Additional courtrooms and judicial proceedings will be added as we continue to expand the types of cases heard. However, not all judicial proceedings are accessible to the public. Statutorily closed proceedings are not accessible to the public and will not be livestreamed.

It is unlawful and a criminal offense to record, transmit or broadcast video, audio or photograph of any judicial proceeding and violators may be found to be in contempt of court and may be criminally charged with a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment of up to two years for a first offense. See Pa.R.J.A. 1910, Pa.R.Crim.P. 112 and 18 Pa.C.S. § 5103.1.
