Local Practice Notes
Among the strictest requirements in the state. True and correct copies of each exhibit must be presented to the Trial Judge and to each counsel of record at the time the exhibit is marked for identification, per Pa.R.C.P. 223.1. Custody of trial exhibits is separately governed by the Pennsylvania Rules of Judicial Administration, Chapter 51 (Rule 5101 et seq.). PACFile's general document cap is 500 MB per filing, well above this county's stated 35 MB limit, so treat any narrower page-size or per-file specifics you hear as department-level practice, not a published statewide standard -- confirm current formatting preferences (tabs vs. separator pages, exact size caps) with the clerk before trial.
