Rule 2187. Number of Copies to be Filed and Served.

(a) Filing.—To determine the number of copies to be filed, see Pa.R.A.P. 124(c) and its Official Note.
(b) Service.
   (1)  General rule.—A party shall serve one copy of its definitive brief and reproduced record on every other party separately represented.
   (2)  In forma pauperis.—A party proceeding in forma pauperis shall only serve one copy of each definitive brief on every other party separately represented. Pursuant to Pa.R.A.P. 2151(b), a party proceeding in forma pauperis is not required to reproduce the record.
   (3)  Advance text of briefs.—If the record is being reproduced pursuant to Pa.R.A.P. 2154(b) (large records), one copy of each brief without definitive reproduced record pagination shall be served on each party separately represented. Proof of service showing compliance with this rule, but not including the advance text of the brief, shall be filed with the prothonotary of the appellate court.

   Official Note
   At the request of the appellate prothonotaries, it will no longer be necessary to file advance copies (e.g., page proof) of the brief when service is made on the opposing party, but the requirement for the filing of a proof of such service is retained.
   See Pa.R.A.P. 2189 for procedure in cases involving the death penalty.
