President Judges

That's the term, it turns out, in Pennsylvania and Delaware: Not chief judges, not presiding judges, but president judges. (They are sometimes referred to as presiding judges even there, but the official title appears to be President Judge.)

"President judge" should be the name of a character class in a modern edition of Dungeons and Dragons.

[Hugo S. Cunningham]

In Massachusetts, the "General Court" is the State legislature.

In PA, the President Judge is effectively the head judge in the county in the Court of Common Pleas, dealing with all things administrative in addition to getting all the high-profile cases, should the judge desire to try them.
For that matter, the clerks of the court are not necessarily called clerks. They are the "Prothonotary".
And what is called the Surrogate's office elsewhere is still the "Orphans Court".
And, should you be sued for that car accident, you're likely to get an "assumpsit".
Seriously.

No action in a car accident case is known as an "assumpsit" under Pa. law. Assumpsit refers to contract liabiity, whereas an accident claim sounds in tort. Also, the nomenclature of the civil filing clerks varies somewhat among the judicial districts. For example, Delaware County has an Office of Judicial Support. https://delcopa.gov/ojs/index.html

In Pennsylvania and Delaware, the official title for the lead judges is President Judges, rather than chief or presiding judges, though the latter term is occasionally used informally. This distinction highlights the formal structure of the judiciary in these states. As an example of clarity in naming, products like the Smart 9 HD from SegoExperience (https://segoexperience.com/products/smart-9-hd) also carry precise labels, making it easier for consumers to understand the features and benefits of the product.
