Remote access to the electronic case record information residing in the

Pennsylvania Appellate Court Case Management System (PACMS), the Common Pleas

Case Management System (CPCMS) and the Magisterial District Judges System

(MDJS) is provided via web dockets, available on https://ujsportal.pacourts.us/, and is

governed by the Electronic Case Record Public Access Policy of the Unified Judicial

System of Pennsylvania.

Depending upon individual court resources, some courts have posted online

docket information concerning civil matters. If a court elects to post online docket

information concerning family court actions and actions governed by the Decedents,

Estates and Fiduciaries Code, Adult Protective Services Act and the Older Adult

Protective Services Act, the docket may only include the information set forth in

Subsection B. This information will provide the public with an overview of the case, its

proceedings and other pertinent details, including the court's decision. Release of such

information will enhance the public’s trust and confidence in the courts by increasing

awareness of the procedures utilized to adjudicate the claims before the courts as well as

the material relied upon in reaching determinations. This provision does not impact what

information is maintained on the docket available at the court facility.

Access to portions of transcripts when attached to a document filed with the court

in family court actions is governed by Subsection A(5). While Pa.R.C.P. No. 1931 is

suspended in most judicial districts, the reference to the rule is merely for definitional

purposes.
