>> My name is Bill Kissner.
I am the Magisterial District Judge in Carbon County in the borough of Palmerton and I sit
and hear all of the cases in the beginning in the system of the criminal justice system.
And what I mean by that is from traffic all the way up to a murder case.
Every fourth week we are on call and what I mean by on call is 24/7 one of us has to be available
for either arraignments of someone who's charged in the middle of the night,
protection from abuse orders, someone who violates the protection from abuse order,
search warrants and various other things.
So 1 week a month is what it comes down to, we are on call 24/7 for a week.
