(a) Scope.
This Rule shall encompass all civil actions, except actions where jurisdiction lies in the Family/Orphans Court Division.
(b) Case Management Orders (CMO).
1. Case Management Orders--General.
(A) At the time of judicial assignment, the Office of Court Administration shall issue a CMO designating dates for the close of discovery, the filing of pretrial statements, and a proposed trial term.
(B) At any time prior to judicial assignment, the parties may agree to the entry of a CMO by filing a stipulation with the Office of Court Administration and the Prothonotary.
(C) Following the entry of the CMO, any request for modification shall be done by motion filed with the Prothonotary and mailing or delivering a copy to the assigned judge.
2. Case Management Orders--Time Limitations.
(A) All CMOs, except those requested by stipulation, which are issued by the Office of Court Administration, shall provide the following time limitations:
(i) Close of discovery within two hundred forty (240) days of the issuance of the CMO.
(ii) Plaintiff's pretrial statement filed within thirty (30) days of the close of discovery.
(iii) Defendant's pretrial statement filed within sixty (60) days of the close of discovery.
(iv) The proposed trial term which will be the next available trial term for which the case can be certified.
(B) If a case has been accepted by the Court as ''complex,'' all CMOs shall designate dates consistent with the following time limitations:
(i) Close of discovery is five hundred forty (540) days from the issuance of the CMO.
(ii) Plaintiff's pre-trial statement filed within forty five (45) days of the close of discovery.
(iii) Defendant's pretrial statement filed within ninety (90) days of the close of discovery.
(iv) The proposed trial term which will be the next available trial term for which the case can be certified.

(i) Close of discovery is ninety (90) days from the issuance of the CMO.
(ii) Plaintiff's pretrial statement filed within fifteen (15) days of the close of discovery.
(iii) Defendant's pretrial statement filed within thirty (30) days of the close of discovery.
(iv) The proposed trial term which will be the next available trial term for which the case can be certified.
(D) A party may request that a case be designated as complex or expedited by the filing of a stipulation or motion.
(E) All cases where the amount in controversy is within the limits for mandatory arbitration shall be designated as ''expedited'' cases and CMOs issued accordingly.
(c) Settlement Conference.
A party may request that the assigned judge conduct a settlement conference at any time after the filing of the last responsive pleading.
(d) Mediation.
Mediation is available upon agreement of all parties. The Prothonotary, upon request for appointment of a mediator, may appoint a mediator to conduct the process. Other alternatives for locating a trained mediator include the Erie County Bar Associaition's Mediation Service.
The following procedure shall guide the mediation process when requested by parties:
1. A mediator may be selected through the Prothonotary's Office from a list supplied by the Court, through the Erie County Bar Association's Mediation Program or by other means agreed upon by the parties.
2. The mediator shall designate the time for hearing with written notice to each party or their counsel. Hearings may be held at the mediator's office or elsewhere upon agreement of the parties.
3. All parties, including counsel, may attend the mediation.
4. The parties/counsel shall immediately notify the mediator if the matter has been resolved prior to the scheduled hearing.
5. Upon completion of the mediation, the mediator shall file a report with the Court, with copies to the parties or, if represented, to their counsel, stating only whether the case has settled. If the case has not settled, it shall proceed to arbitration or trial.
*(e) Certification For Trial.
1. These certification procedures apply to all civil jury and non-jury cases.
2. In order to have a case assigned to a particular trial term, all counsel or parties must certify the case as ready for trial by filing with the Prothonotary and serving upon the Court Administrator a certification in substantially the form contained herein and designated ''Certification I.''
3. If a party has failed to comply with the timetables established in the CMO or has failed to sign a Certification I after being requested to do so in writing, a party wishing to place the case on the trial list must file a certification in substantially the same form contained herein and designated ''Certification II.''
4. A Certification I or II indicating readiness for trial shall be filed with the Office of Court Administration and the Prothonotary no later than the last Friday of the calendar month that precedes the month immediately before the beginning of the proposed trial term, unless a different deadline is established by notice published in the Erie County Legal Journal.
5. All ''Certification II's'' shall be forwarded to the assigned judge for disposition.
*Comment: To comply with this Rule, all counsel must certify that they have ''met and discussed settlement of this matter.'' (See the Form for Certification I). One preferred method of alternative dispute resolution which would satisfy the requirements of this Rule is mediation. The Erie County Bar Association has established a Mediation Program; guidelines and forms can be obtained from the ECBA offices at (814) 459-3111, or on-line at www.eriebar.com.
Rule 212.4. Trial Lists and Continuances.
(a) After the deadline for certification has passed, the Office of Court Administration, in coordination with the assigned judge, shall list all certified cases for trial.
(b) When a case is listed for trial, it shall not be continued except for just cause. Except in the case of exigent circumstances, all motions for continuance must be made at least ten (10) days before the start of the trial in non-jury cases. All motions for continuance must include the reasons for the request and must be presented to the assigned judge.
(c) Motions for continuance which are being made with the agreement of all counsel must be signed by all counsel or parties.
Rule 1301. Scope.
(a) Compulsory arbitration of matters as authorized by the Judicial Code, 42 Pa.C.S. § 7361 as amended, shall apply to all cases at issue where the aggregate amount in controversy shall be Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), or less, regardless of the number of parties, except those cases involving title to real estate or which seek equitable or declaratory relief.
(b) In all cases where a party has obtained a judgment by default under Pa.R.C.P. No. 1037, the party obtaining said judgment by default may elect to have unliquidated damages assessed at a trial by arbitration with the issues limited to the amount of damages which shall not exceed $50,000.00. The election to assess damages by arbitration shall constitute a waiver by the party making such election of any damages in excess of $50,000.00.
(c) Discovery shall be allowed in all cases.
Explanatory Comment--2008 The monetary limits for arbitration are being increased from $35,000.00 to $50,000.00 and this change shall apply to those civil actions which are filed after the effective date of this rule change. This change is being made on a trial basis and shall be subject to a three year sunset provision. By the end of the three year period which begins on the effective date of this rule change, the court, with the assistance of the Erie County Bar Association, shall analyze the results and the effect of the increase in the arbitration limits to make a determination as to whether to maintain the limits at that level.
Rule 1302. List of Arbitrators. Appointment to Board.
(a)(1) The Board of Arbitrators in any case shall be selected in accordance with one of the procedures set forth below, from a list of attorneys admitted to practice in Erie County, who have filed their consent to act with the Prothonotary.
Those attorneys having practiced for three (3) years or more who wish to be Chairman of Boards of Arbitration shall so inform the Prothonotary of their eligibility.
(i) Selection by Praecipe: Upon the filing of a Praecipe for Arbitration, the Prothonotary shall nominate a Board of potential Arbitrators consisting of three (3) attorneys plus one (1) attorney for each attorney of record and unrepresented party. Not more than two (2) of the potential Arbitrators shall have been admitted to the practice of law for less than three (3) years. The list of attorneys so nominated shall be sent by the Prothonotary to each attorney of record and the unrepresented party. Each attorney of record and unrepresented party may strike off one (1) nominated attorney and return the list to the Prothonotary within five (5) days. A failure to respond within five (5) days constitutes a waiver of the right to strike one (1) name from the list. The three remaining names will make up the Board. If no name of the same name is stricken from the list, the first three (3) remaining names will make up the Board.
Upon the expiration of five (5) days, the Prothonotary shall notify all parties of the names of the Arbitration Panel and designate as Chair the first Arbitration Panel and designate as Chair the first Arbitrator, so selected, who has been admitted to the practice of law for at least three (3) years.
(ii) Selection by agreement: By agreement of counsel, the Prothonotary shall nominate a list of nine (9) attorneys selected at random from the entire list of potential arbitrators with an additional three (3) attorneys for each additional party with an adverse interest. Each party shall have the right to strike off attorneys so named, one at a time and alternately. If, after the striking of Arbitrators, the selection will result in a panel of members none of whom are eligible to be Chairman, the Prothonotary at the request of either counsel, shall select three (3) additional attorneys for consideration. The selection shall continue until a panel is agreed upon. If none of the three (3) chosen Arbitrators have been practicing for more than three (3) years, the counsel shall be deemed to waive this requirement. The Chairman shall be selected by counsel.
(iii) Selection of sole arbitrator: In any case within the limits of compulsory arbitration, a sole Arbitrator may be selected to adjudicate the case by agreement of counsel. The award shall have the same effect as that of a three (3) person panel. The Prothonotary shall nominate a list of five (5) attorneys selected at random from the entire list with an additional two (2) attorneys for each additional party with an adverse interest. Each party shall then have the right to strike off two so named, one at a time and alternately. The remaining attorney shall comprise the Board of Arbitration and shall be considered the Chairman.
(2) In the event an arbitrator selected pursuant to the above procedures is unavailable to attend the hearing for any reason, that arbitrator shall give the parties written notice of his or her unavailability five (5) days before the hearing date, so as to allow the parties time to agree on selection of a replacement arbitrator and have said replacement available to attend the hearing so as not to cause the need for rescheduling of the same. If the arbitrator fails to comply with the five (5) day notice requirement, at the time of the regularly scheduled arbitration hearing the parties shall notify the Prothonotary of the arbitrator's failure. Thereafter, the arbitrator shall automatically be stricken from the list of arbitrators maintained by the Prothonotary with leave to reapply for inclusion on the list upon petition to the Court and cause shown.
