Pennsylvania General Assembly is the legislative body of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, responsible for creating, debating, and enacting state laws. While not a traditional law firm, it comprises elected officials, including attorneys, who draft and pass legislation that impacts all areas of state governance. Its role is foundational to the state’s legal and regulatory framework.
The Assembly operates through a bicameral system, consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate, where members—many of whom are legal professionals—leverage their expertise to address complex policy issues. It serves all Pennsylvania residents and businesses by developing statutes that cover civil, criminal, regulatory, and administrative matters, ensuring the legal structure that attorneys and law firms then interpret and apply.
