The Pennsylvania Attorney Certification of Good Faith (Required Only In Contested Cases) is a form used in Pennsylvania to certify that an attorney’s filing of a pleading, motion, or other paper with the court is being made in good faith. This form is required only in contested cases, meaning cases in which the parties are actively litigating. It certifies that the attorney has made a reasonable inquiry into the facts and law relevant to the pleading, motion, or other paper, and that the attorney has determined that the pleading, motion, or other paper is warranted by existing law or a good faith argument for the extension, modification, or reversal of existing law. The form also certifies that the pleading, motion, or other paper is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass or to cause unnecessary delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation. There are two types of Pennsylvania Attorney Certification of Good Faith (Required Only In Contested Cases). The first is a “short form” certification, which only requires the attorney to sign and date the form and attest to the facts and law contained within. The second is a “long form” certification, which requires the attorney to provide additional information about the filing, including a description of the facts and law relevant to the pleading, motion, or other paper.
