Philadelphia Cnty. C.P. President Judge General Court Regulation In Re: Adoption ... 4
After an electronic file is created, it must not be modified in any way. If an electronic
filing is modified, it may be incompatible with the electronic filing system and will be
rejected.
(b) In order to accommodate the scanning of legal papers presented in a hard-copy format and
saving in an electronic format as provided by Philadelphia Civil Rule *205.4(b)(1), in addition to
the requirements of Pa.R.Civ.P. 204.1, all hard-copy “legal papers” must conform to the following
requirements:
(1) all legal papers must be printed on only one side of the paper;
(2) all orders must contain a 3-inch space from the top of the page for all electronic court
stampings, filing notices, etc.;
(3) legal papers must not be stapled or permanently bound, but must be secured by binder
clips or other fasteners which do not punctuate or otherwise interfere with scanning;
(4) bar codes on any page of the legal paper interfere with scanning and must therefore be
crossed out or otherwise redacted; and

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
