Do you have any special rules governing courtroom decorum (e.g., addressing the court, dealing with opposing counsel and witnesses, proper attire, etc.)? Rise when addressing the court and when making an objection. Address all remarks to the court and not to opposing counsel. Follow the Pennsylvania Code of Civility at all times. Do not bring food or beverages, apart from water, into the courtroom without the express advance permission of the court.
Describe motions practice in your court. Are there any local practices that attorneys should be aware of? All pre-trial motions must be written with specificity and filed pursuant to the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure.
Are there any special practices or procedures lawyers appearing before you should know about? Judge Tucker runs his courtroom in a formal manner.
Does the court accept filings by e-mail? Fax: 215-686-7375
