Typical Montgomery County Exhibit Timeline
Civil pre-trial statements must list every exhibit a party intends to use, per Pa.R.C.P. 212.2 -- exhibits left off the list can be precluded at trial. E-filing is available through PACFile but is not mandatory for civil cases; criminal filings use PACFile separately, and emergency petitions must still be filed in person at the Norristown office.
Montgomery County Exhibit FAQs
What happens if I leave an exhibit off my Montgomery County pre-trial statement?
It can be precluded. Pa.R.C.P. 212.2 requires civil pre-trial statements to list every exhibit a party intends to use at trial, and exhibits left off that list risk exclusion -- so treat the pre-trial statement deadline as your real exhibit-preparation deadline, not the trial date.
Is e-filing mandatory for civil cases in Montgomery County, PA?
No -- e-filing through PACFile is available but optional for civil filings in Montgomery County, unlike criminal cases where PACFile is mandatory. Emergency petitions must still be filed in person at the Norristown office regardless.
Do I need to keep paper originals if I e-file in Montgomery County?
Yes -- filers must maintain original hard copies with signatures even after e-filing, since PACFile submissions do not replace the need to retain the signed original for the court record.
