Rule 1002. Requirement of the Original
An original writing, recording, or photograph is required in order to prove its content unless these
rules or other law provides otherwise.

Verbatim from the official publication; the only normalization is removal of the publisher's page headers. Verify against the official source for filing-critical use — court publications change without notice.
