COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OVERVIEW:
Court of Common Pleas is administered by the county. Each county has one or more judges who are elected to sit on the bench and hear criminal and civil court cases. Counties support the courts with corrections and criminal justice programs such as the county prison, juvenile detention center, probation, and/or criminal investigation units. The Judges of the Civil Division are responsible for handling all civil matters, as well as family and orphans' court matters. Each judge is responsible for his or her inventory of cases from the filing of the complaint through disposition of the case.

The President Judge acts as the executive administrative head of the court. The President Judge is responsible for supervising the judicial business of the court, promulgating all administrative rules and regulations, making all judicial assignments, and assigning and re-assigning among the personnel of the court available chambers and other physical facilities.

The term for a Court of Common Pleas judge is 10 years, and Pennsylvania law states that judges must retire at the end of the year in which they turn 70 years old.

Waynesburg, the county seat for Greene County, is located in the 12th United States Congressional District, the 46th Pennsylvania Senate District and the 50th Pennsylvania House District.
