Law of Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes form the general statutory law.

[citation needed] The organic source of state law is the Constitution of Pennsylvania.

The people of the States created the federal government and delegated to it a few enumerated powers to which it is properly limited.

[3] Pursuant to certain statutes, state agencies have promulgated bodies of regulations (sometimes called administrative law).

[6] The Pennsylvania Bulletin is the weekly gazette containing proposed, enacted and emergency rules and other notices and important documents.

[7] They are compiled, edited and supplemented by the Pennsylvania Legislative Reference Bureau.

[citation needed] All statutes, regulations, and ordinances are subject to judicial review.

[8] Estate and trusts trial cases are published in the Fiduciary Reporter, and local government cases (both trial and appellate) are published in Chrostwaite's Pennsylvania Municipal Law Reporter.
