Pa. O.C. Rule 11. Jury Trials
___When any issue is
to be tried by a jury in the Orphans' Court Division, a request
shall be made to the Trial or Civil Division of the Court of Common
Pleas of the county for a panel of jurors. A jury shall be selected
from this panel and if additional jurors are required they shall
be obtained on request to the Trial or Civil Division of the Court
of Common Pleas.
[Rule 11.1 as amended November 24, 1975, effective
January 1, 1976.]
[Committee Comment: As amended, the changed
wording conforms to the recognition of the Orphans' Court as a
separate division of the Court of Common Pleas rather than a constitutionally
established separate court. The numbers "twenty" and
"twelve" relating to jurors are omitted as unnecessary
and to avoid inconsistency with possible future legislation.]
___The selection of
a jury, the conduct of a trial and motions after trial shall conform
to the practice and procedure in jury trials in the local Court
of Common Pleas.
