HARRISBURG — The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has established a new Twitter feed to increase online access to its rulings.

The site will provide instant notification of the online posting of most Supreme Court information, such as orders, new rules, opinions and statements written by the justices.

Anyone can sign-up to receive alerts from the court’s Twitter page, which can be accessed at twitter.com/SupremeCtofPA. “Follow Us On Twitter” links also will appear on the state court system’s website to take people directly to the page, according to a court news release.

Supreme Court Justice J. Michael Eakin, who has spearheaded the move, said in the release, “This is a logical extension of an ongoing commitment to enhance the delivery of court information and services in an efficient and cost-effective manner.”

All new rulings posted to the Pennsylvania Judiciary website will be linked to a Tweet, and available immediately on a follower’s personal home page.

The new service will not be for communicating with the court. Those who have questions or a concern about the state’s judicial system may continue to do so through the Public Comments section of the Pennsylvania Judiciary’s Web site at www.pacourts.us/Public+Comments/Default.htm.
