The Fifth Judicial District of Pennsylvania complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires that all court services and facilities be as reasonably accessible to persons with disabilities as those without disabilities. If you have a disability and require reasonable accommodation to file a claim, participate in a court proceeding or use any service provided by the Fifth Judicial District of Pennsylvania, please call the ADA coordinator at 412-350-5419.

If you have received notice of a scheduled court appearance and require a reasonable accommodation, please call the ADA Coordinator immediately. Because some accommodations require additional time, the court requests as much notice as possible. Requests for reasonable accommodation must be made at least five (5) business days in advance of the court activity. In Family Division SUPPORT ACTIONS ONLY, arrangements for disabled persons must be made at least 72 hours prior to any hearing or business before the court.

The request for an ADA accommodation may be made by completing an Americans with Disabilities Act Accommodation Request and returning it to the ADA Coordinator either by faxing it to (412) 350-5006 or by mail:

Please submit grievances concerning ADA Accommodation Request dispositions, in writing, to the Deputy Court Administrator, 300 Frick Building, 437 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15219. A response will be sent to you after careful review of the facts.
