Rule 227.1*(a) Motions for Post-Trial Relief

A copy of all motions for new trials, for judgment n.o.v., to take off non-suits and in arrest of judgment, together with the reasons therefor, shall be given to the trial judge, and to the official court reporter and the court administrator, and proof of such service shall be filed of record. The usual manner of documenting the fact of such service shall be by the endorsement of acceptances of service thereof by the trial judge and the official court reporter and the court administrator, respectively, noted upon the original motion before filing. Additional reasons in support of said motion may be filed within ten days after receipt of a copy of the stenographic transcript, and a copy thereof shall forthwith be served upon counsel of record for the adverse party or parties, or the adverse party himself if he has no counsel of record, and upon the trial judge. Unless the Court has directed that the trial record be transcribed at the cost of the County, each motion filed under this rule shall be accompanied by a deposit as required under Bucks County Rule of Civil Procedure 227.3*(c).
