PA-ED — Judge-Specific Procedures
E.D. Pa. — PA-ED has a heavy judge-specific overlay.
PA-ED has a heavy judge-specific overlay. Length limits, SMF format, and discovery dispute procedures are largely set by the assigned judge's standing orders rather than the district-wide local rules.
Where to look
- Individual judge pages: paed.uscourts.gov has individual judge pages with current standing orders.
- Standing orders index: Rule 1.1.1 directs counsel to the website for current standing orders; alternatively, copies may be obtained from the Clerk's Office.
