HARRISBURG - Feb. 28, 1996 - Supreme Court Justice Stephen A. Zappala today cautioned members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees that the present automated District Justice System connecting the 551 district justice offices throughout Pennsylvania eventually will have to be shut down unless remedial financial action is taken.

Justice Zappala issued the alert in a prepared statement submitted to members of the committee for the record during budget hearings held by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees in their respective Majority Caucus Rooms in the Capitol.

Appearing with Justice Zappala at the budget hearings were Supreme Court Justices Ralph J. Cappy and Sandra Schultz Newman, Superior Court President Judge Stephen J. McEwen, Commonwealth Court President Judge James G. Collins, and Nancy Sobolevitch, Court Administrator of Pennsylvania.

Attached is the full prepared statement submitted by Justice Zappala. (Note: In the interest of conserving time, Justice Zappala presented a condensed version of the remarks for the record.)
