A probate court (sometimes called a surrogate court) is a court that has competence in a jurisdiction to deal with matters of probate and the administration of estates. In some jurisdictions, such courts may be referred to as orphans' courts or courts of ordinary.
Johnson was elected to a 14-year term on the bench, which has long been held by Democratic judicial candidates. The court is currently being run by Judge Peter Kelly, who was elected to the Supreme Court last year after serving as surrogate for 13 years.
