Rule 1.22 Citation of Authorities

When you file legal papers in an Orphans' Court case, you must follow a specific format when referring to cases, laws, or other legal sources. The format to use is found in Pennsylvania Rule of Appellate Procedure 126.

Rule 126 tells you how to write out references to court cases, statutes, and other legal materials so the court can find them easily. If you are filing documents in an Orphans' Court matter, you should look up Pa.R.A.P. 126 to make sure you are citing your sources correctly.
