Welcome to the PA State Law Blog

Hello and welcome to the PA State Law Blog. I am an attorney-to-be, working primarily in PA state courts. The Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure (Pa.R.C.P.) grant each county in Pennsylvania the right to promulgate local rules, pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 239, to be enforced so long as there exists no conflict with a rule of higher authority. Because there are so many counties in PA (67 of them) these rules sometimes become very confusing. Even the most basic rules of procedure sometimes differ between counties. That's why I created this site - so you don't have to re-invent the wheel.
