PENNSYLVANNIA - Closure of Luzerne County could Signal Further Closures to come for PA State Courts

Per President Judge Michael T. Vough’s Order of November 19, 2020, there will be restricted Court operations in Luzerne County due to an uptick in COVID-19 cases. Specifically, the magistrate's offices will close for 10 days, and there will be no jury trials throughout the months of December and January.

Only certain proceedings will move forward as per usual including guardianships, civil injunction hearings, and mental health proceedings.
