: How Appealing"A Shortcut to Appeal for Civil Cases Pending in Pa. State Court"
In essence, as I describe in more detail in the column, a Pennsylvania state Rule of Civil Procedure allows any party to send a case immediately to appeal if the trial judge takes more than 120 days to decide post-trial motions. Whether this shortcut is available depends on what sort of post-trial motions remain pending. But when the shortcut is available and is invoked, the trial judge loses jurisdiction to rule on the post-trial motions that have yet to be decided.
I'd be curious to hear from readers of this blog whether any similar post-trial shortcuts to appeal are available in other States.
