Courts

The Court of Common Pleas of Beaver County is a trial court of general jurisdiction resolving controversies involving a wide variety of cases. The seven elected judges preside over matters such as adult and juvenile prosecutions, civil disputes involving property or money, divorce, custody, child support, adoptions, trusts and estates, guardianships, administrative hearings and appeals from decisions of the eight Magisterial District Judges in Beaver County.

Beaver County’s court system was established more than 200 years ago, beginning with the Pennsylvania legislature creating the courts of justice in 1800. Many distinguished jurists have been members of Beaver County’s bench: such as Daniel Agnew, who served as Chief Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court for 15 years, James E. Rowley, former President Judge of the Superior Court and Ralph Scalera, appointed by President Richard M. Nixon to the federal bench.
