The form must be filed as a written document with the appropriate court office, typically the Prothonotary or Office of Judicial Records, when a person decides to proceed without legal representation.
After filing, the court will hold the self-represented party to the same standards of knowledge regarding statutory law, evidence law, and procedural rules as a Pennsylvania licensed attorney.
The form must contain an address where the party agrees that pleadings and other legal papers may be served, and a telephone number through which the party may be contacted. It may also include a facsimile number and presents the party’s commitment to receive all court communications and legal documents at the specified contact information.
