I had to report for jury duty earlier this year. And we walked over to City Hall where we were in the courtroom. So there's Judges at least.

Replying to prozute (#722,008)

Every civil court judge in Common Pleas. Criminal is in the CJC on Filbert.

added: I found an old directory of the building online which has to be ~20 years old, and so while many of the names are outdated (or dead), the offices which are in the building remain. Of note, and I should have said this the first time: the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has a gorgeous courtroom in the building which it uses a few times every year.

Police department has a “station” for all the cops going to court, they also have a big bulk evidence room on the 7th floor and the basement.

There are so many rooms you wouldn’t even believe.

There’s an office there where you can get a “city ID”, it’s meant for people who don’t have certain documentation, or wish to have a specific gender on their ID.

If you can't find your department there, go to Municipal Services Building across the street (Streets Dept, Civil Service Exams, L&I, water bill payments, block party application drop-offs, etc.).
