Area served by volunteer fire companies Court system begins with elected district justices Many people are baffled by the state's judicial system, but a resident doesn't need a law degree to grasp a basic understanding of it. The system includes four court levels. Beginning with the lowest, they are: district justices, courts of common pleas (county courts), Superior and Commonwealth courts, and the state Supreme Court. Each court serves a unique function. At the lowest level, eight district magistrates, or justices, serve Cumberland County. They are elected and serve six-year terms. They have initial jurisdiction over any civil case involving claims of less than $8,000 unless it is a real estate dispute, which they do not handle. In criminal cases, they set bail, handle preliminary arraignments and hold preliminary hearings to determine if there is sufficient evidence to refer the cases to the court of common pleas. They also issue search and arrest warrants and handle ordinance violations and various summary offenses such as violations of the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief and public drunkenness.
