The hires were made with funds given to the county through federal stimulus money provided by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, to pay for positions that would be dedicated to fulfilling the state Supreme Court directive to expunge records of certain juveniles who appeared before then-Judge Mark Ciavarella without an attorney.

The positions are all a temporary assignment until the completion of expungements.
