Major Legal Win for Citizen Litigant Leah Hoopes PA Supreme Court Steps In
Most people never get this far representing themselves, but Leah Hoopes just did something almost no pro se (self‑represented) citizen ever pulls off in Pennsylvania.
After months of detailed filings exposing misconduct in Delaware County’s lawsuit against her, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court stepped in and ordered that a visiting judge take over the case. That means the local judge, Anthony Scanlon, has been removed and the case is now under Supreme Court supervision something that only happens when higher courts believe there may be fairness or integrity issues at the county level.
At the same time, Zurich North America, the insurer behind Delaware County’s public‑official bonds, opened a formal investigation into whether county officials and their lawyers misused bond‑funded resources to target private citizens in this case, Hoopes and Gregory Stenstrom. Zurich’s surety division has until November 10, 2025 to finish that investigation and issue findings.
This combination a Supreme Court intervention plus a corporate surety inquiry is extremely rare, especially for a regular citizen with no lawyer. It formally puts Delaware County, its outside law firm Duane Morris LLP, and several top local officials under official scrutiny for how they handled taxpayer‑backed litigation and constitutional‑rights issues.
To put it bluntly: Hoopes built such an airtight record of evidence documents, court filings, and bond law references that the highest levels of Pennsylvania’s legal system and one of America’s largest insurers are now involved. That’s almost unheard of for a pro se litigant.
Her situation is now being watched as a textbook example of how one determined citizen can use careful research, procedure, and documentation to hold powerful officials and law firms accountable.
Summary:
Leah Hoopes didn’t just stand up for herself she triggered a Supreme Court‑level review and a Zurich North America investigation into Delaware County’s conduct. It’s a reminder that persistence, knowledge of the law, and solid evidence can still make a difference, even against the biggest players.
