The FIRST, MOST IMPORTANT RULE, THOUGH IS:
YOU CANNOT, AND MAY NOT, RECORD THE PROCEEDINGS.
Because it’s against the law and might get you in trouble.
Here’s what you need to know:
The public disciplinary hearing for Potter County District Attorney Andy Joseph Watson (Docket 49 DB 2026) is scheduled for three consecutive days: December 8, December 9, and December 10, 2026, starting at 9:30 AM each day.
Location and Viewing Access
Because the proceeding is officially under the jurisdiction of the state-level Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, it is being handled through their standardized public hearing frameworks:
- Online Broadcast: The hearings are conducted publicly and will be broadcast live via the Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board’s Official YouTube Channel. The board streams these events directly so the public, media, and affected citizens can observe the proceedings in real time.
- Recordings Prohibited: While the livestream is fully public for local reporters and citizens to watch, state rules strictly prohibit any recording, clipping, or re-broadcasting of the video stream.
- Physical Venue: If the board holds an in-person or hybrid setup alongside the digital stream, it takes place at one of the Supreme Court’s regional disciplinary district offices (typically District IV, which covers the northern tier and western Pennsylvania, or their primary facilities in Harrisburg). However, the official public dockets emphasize electronic accessibility via the public stream links established for Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 of the Watson case.
You can track real-time changes, potential calendar adjustments, or view the submitted legal filings directly on the case file via the PA Disciplinary Board Attorney Detail Portal by looking up his specific licensing profile.
