Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Terms on dockets

Does anyone know what some of the terms and codes mean on dockets? Like the grade....M, M2, S and how to get more information on cases. I am new to investigating and get lost sometimes. Background checks are hard.

This may not be responsive to your question and Mr. Zeiger's answer was accurate, but I've seen a few of these "background checks" lately and I think there is a huge risk of liability, especially for people providing these things to employers.

s is for summary, thats like a ticket. m is for misdemeanor. f is for felony. 1 is the worst, then 2 then three. so an f1 is the worst other then h, which is murder. [email protected]
