Pennsylvania Motion Practice
Written by experienced litigators, Pennsylvania Motion Practice is a fundamental text for practitioners of all levels. This essential guide addresses the requirements for preliminary motions, including preliminary objections, motions for judgment on the pleadings, motions for class certification, and discovery motions. It also covers summary judgment motions, pre- and post-trial motions, and motions that may be filed in the appellate courts. Along the way, the authors discuss the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure applicable to each type of motion, provide requirements and guidance for the preparation of motions, and, in some instances, examine select local county rules and Pennsylvania-specific legal doctrines. This Fifth Edition includes helpful practice pointers, updated case law citations, and a large variety of sample forms, taken largely from the authors’ personal work as seasoned litigators.
