On March 27, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court officially approved a series of amendments to the Pennsylvania Rules of Appellate Procedure governing the size of appellate briefs. Most significantly, the new amendments replace the page limits currently applicable to appellate briefs with various maximum word-count limits.
The amendments also mandate an increase in the minimum font size for the text of appellate briefs, from 12-point to 14-point. These amendments will govern and apply to all appeals filed 60 or more days after March 27.
