Minor Judiciary

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania requires the Minor Judiciary to establish IOLTA-like accounts for their custodial accounts. The program is referred to as the Minor Judiciary Interest on Trust Accounts (MJ-IOTA) program.

The MJ-IOTA program is similar to the IOLTA program. Judicial officials maintain custodial accounts to hold the collection of fees and fines, collateral and cash bonds, restitution for victims of crime and other similar amounts, until the funds are ultimately transferred to the owners.
