After a pandemic-induced backlog of cases and a significant expansion of the Virginia Court of Appeals to include civil appeals of right, an increased number of civil cases are now moving through the appeals process. As more and more VTLA members are working through appeals at the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court, please remember VTLA may be able to lend support with an amicus brief. If you feel your case might have broad and important implications for fellow VTLA members, please email your request for amicus support to vobrien@vtla.com and include a brief description of your facts and issues, attach all pertinent briefs and orders, and identify important filing dates.
For reference, prior amicus briefs filed by the VTLA can be found here.
Interested in lending a hand and brushing up on your brief-writing skills? We are constantly seeking new brief writers to help our amicus team; please let us know!
