Virginia now has an official set of evidentiary rules that takes effect next month. Practitioners do not be alarmed — no major change in practice is anticipated, as the rules simply mirror existing Virginia statutes and case law with respect to evidentiary issues.
The Supreme Court of Virginia has posted the new Rules of Evidence online at: http://www.courts.state.va.us/courts/scv/amendments/2012_0525_part_2.pdf
