“This practice manual not only explains in detail the procedural requirements associated with litigating in Virginia, but also identifies specific judicial preferences. In short, the authors have endeavored to create an invaluable research aid.” – W. Michael Holm, Editor

This handbook is the perfect guide to civil practice in federal courts in Virginia. Federal Civil Practice in Virginia combines a concise treatment of federal practice with the specific requirements of the Eastern (aka “the Rocket Docket”) and Western Districts of Virginia. It highlights differences in practice between the Eastern and Western Districts, among divisions within a district, and among judges.

The text of this volume is complemented by several practice aids, including extensive examples of pretrial and scheduling orders used in Virginia’s federal courts, a federal issues checklist, and an outline written by a Virginia federal judge on handling electronically stored information (ESI).

This 2023 edition includes extensive coverage of the changes in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, local rules, and recent case law developments.
