Virginia Law: It’S Online, But Should You Use It?, Timothy L. Coggins Jan 2008

Virginia Law: It’S Online, But Should You Use It?, Timothy L. Coggins

Law Faculty Publications

A judge asks you to present her with a copy of the Virginia Code section you are referencing in court, or she asks you to provide a copy of the Supreme Court of Virginia opinion you cited. You used Virginia state government websites to find both the code section and the court opinion. This is easy, right? You give her the copy of what you found online. But could there be a problem? Is the court opinion that you retrieved from the court website considered an official version of the court opinion? Has the Virginia Code section that you provided …


Dear President Bush: Leaving A Legacy On The Federal Bench, Carl W. Tobias Jan 2008

Dear President Bush: Leaving A Legacy On The Federal Bench, Carl W. Tobias

Law Faculty Publications

The appointments of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito were milestones in your stated quest to transform the courts. Appreciating that a critical duty assigned to the president by the Constitution is nominating and, with Senate advice and consent, appointing judges, you vowed to recommend "strict constructionists." Selection has enhanced importance, given modern perceptions that judges are essentially the final arbiters of societal disputes, including such questions as terrorism and affirmative action.

Reconsidering Virginia Judicial Selection, Carl W. Tobias Jan 2008

Reconsidering Virginia Judicial Selection, Carl W. Tobias

Law Faculty Publications

The 2008 Virginia General Assembly adjourned this summer without electing judges to vacancies on the State Corporation Commission (the "Commission" or "SCC"), the Supreme Court of Virginia, and numerous circuit courts. Thus, Democratic Governor Tim Kaine recently appointed individuals to fill these openings. Although the jurists whom the Governor appointed seem very well-qualified, the judges may only serve for five months, unless the 2009 General Assembly elects them. The 2008 Assembly's failure to elect judges for these vacancies demonstrates that the selection process is ineffective, and perhaps broken, as this development has eroded the delivery of justice and may have …
