Pennsylvania judicial system
"Pennsylvania’s judiciary began as a disparate collection of courts, some inherited from the reign of the Duke of York and some established by William Penn. They were mostly local, mostly part time and mostly under control of the governor. All of them were run by non-lawyers. And although the Provincial Appellate Court was established in 1684, no court could be called the court of final appeal. Final appeals had to be taken to England." [1]

Pennsylvania: On January 4, 2010, the eligibility rules for senior status judges in Pennsylvania changed. The Supreme Court limited senior status to judges whose combined age and years of service total at least 80 years. It was primarily a budgetary decision, since senior judges are paid by the state. Judges hoping to go part-time are not pleased with the decision.[1]
