New Titles for Summaries of Non-Precedential Decisions

As a convenience for our readers, we recently began including “(Pa. Super.)” in the titles of summaries of decisions of the Pa. Superior Court that are precedential and will be published in the Atlantic Reporter. Extending that practice, we will now be including “(Pa. Super. NP)” in the titles of summaries of Superior Court opinions that are designated “non-precedential.” (For an explanation of the possible value of those opinions, see “New Pa.R.O.C.P. 1.22 and Non-Precedential Opinions.”)

Extending this practice still further, when (or if) there are additional issues of the Fiduciary Reporter, the titles of the summaries of those new opinions will include “(O.C.)” or, the opinion is not from the Orphans’ Court, some other appropriate designation of the court issuing the opinion.
