Upper Darby District Court 32-1-34

Pennsylvania has several different kinds of courts, and the most common kind are district courts (also referred to as magisterial courts). Each district court, which is presided over by an elected judge, represents certain wards, townships, or boroughs within the various counties of Pennsylvania. Delaware County, like other counties in the state, has numerous district courts within the county as a result.

District courts handle certain kinds of cases: specifically, they handle traffic offenses, summary criminal offenses, landlord tenant disputes, small claims of less than $12,000, and municipal code violations. Common examples of traffic offenses handled in district court include driving with a suspended license, failing to yield, running stop signs or red lights, certain DUI or DWI cases, and speeding. Examples of summary criminal offenses handled in district court include drinking underage, shoplifting, harassment, loitering, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct.

It is important that you take your hearing in district court seriously, because if you are convicted of any of these offenses, you could be facing serious penalties. If you have received a citation, or have been arrested, for one of these offenses, then you need to contact an experienced lawyer to help you with your proceeding and develop a strong defense.
