Books by Leigh B. Middleditch, Jr.,

This is a new Edition of a most cited treatise in the Commonwealth of Virginia on practice in the Circuit Courts. Trial judges cite this work, and the Court of Appeals as well as the Supreme Court have cited it numerous times in past years.

Every aspect of the practice of law in Civil Actions is covered in this authoritative classic, with up-to-date citations to decisions of the Courts of Virginia and statutory amendments enacted by the General Assembly. Topics are presented in logical order, with brisk and to-the-point summaries of the case law and statutory developments.

This indispensable manual on Virginia law places each Civil Practice issue in context for the range of applicable rules, and marks the limits and strengths of each category of procedural maneuver permitted in the Commonwealth, along with arguments for and against many of the most problematic procedural moves.
