     § 563.  Seat of court.
        (a)  Regular sessions.--The regular sessions of the
     Commonwealth Court shall be held at the seat of government and
     elsewhere as provided in subsection (b). Each judge shall be
     provided with suitable chambers and other facilities at the seat
     of government. The intention of this provision is to render the
     court and the judges thereof as available, except as provided in
     subsection (b) or as otherwise provided in this title, at the
     seat of government for the conduct of routine and emergency
     judicial business as would be the case if the jurisdiction of
     the court were exercised by the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin
     County.
        (b)  Other sessions.--Within the limits of available
     appropriations, special sessions of the court may be held from
     time to time for the convenience of parties or witnesses, or
     both, in the interest of justice, in such judicial districts of
     this Commonwealth as make available without cost to the
     Commonwealth suitable courtroom and related physical facilities.
     The court shall also sit in the cities of Philadelphia and
     Pittsburgh.
