The Reporter is responsible for the maintenance of all records pertaining to the judges’ assignments. These records are monitored through the Pennsylvania Appellate Court Management system. The Reporter provides the judges with status reports involving assignments, votes and filings for argued, submitted and en banc cases as well as providing monthly and yearly statistical reports.
The Reporter assigns a universal citation to published opinions prior to filing. The filed opinions are posted daily to the Superior Court and the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts websites. These opinions are also electronically transmitted to Lexis, Westlaw and The Legal Intelligencer.
The Reporter is the liaison with Thomson West, the official publisher of the Court’s opinions. The Reporter provides Thomson West with filed opinions, tables of memorandum decisions, whose text is not published in the West Reporter but is made available on Westlaw, tables identifying cases with pending reargument applications and any revisions prior to final publication.
Thomson West also receives from the Reporter transcripts of special ceremonial sessions of the Court for publication.
