The Pennsylvania Civil Cover Sheet is a form that is used to provide information to the Prothonotary (Clerk of Court) in all civil actions filed in the Pennsylvania state courts. It is an important document that helps the Prothonotary to quickly and accurately list the information that must be included in the court record and to assign the case to the proper track. There are two types of Pennsylvania Civil Cover Sheets: the Common Pleas Civil Cover Sheet, which is used for civil actions in the Common Pleas Court, and the Magisterial District Court Civil Cover Sheet, which is used for civil actions in the Magisterial District Courts. The Pennsylvania Civil Cover Sheet must be completed and submitted along with the initial filing documents. It includes information such as the names of the parties, the type of action being brought, the track designation, and the claim amount.
