Virginia Civil Procedure
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.

The only complete one-volume encyclopedia of Virginia Civil Procedure doctrine, written by the chair of the Boyd-Graves Committee that drafted many of the procedures, and supervised the elimination of the “sides of court” in Virginia, turning the system into a unified whole. Professor Sinclair also presented and explained the entire Code, article by article, to the Justices of the Supreme Court at special Retreats set by the Court, and has testified before the General Assembly numerous times to explain issues in Virginia practice to Legislative Committees and the Assembly as a whole to explain civil procedural issues.
This volume, long a desk reference for Trial and Appellate Judges, now in a newly revised edition, is your one source for a complete survey of all of the elements of Virginia civil practice issues in the Commonwealth.
Organized to intuitively match the way litigators organize their thinking, this most authoritative treatise addresses foundational concerns, basic pleading practices, a complete range of available motions and alternative strategies -- all with case annotations made up to date in 2026, to be supplemented annually thereafter. Principles (and common application) of the Part Three Rules of Court are presented in clear and authoritative fashion, with the logical elements highlighted and exemplified in extensive notes detailing the most recent cases in regard to each of the recognized procedural maneuvers in Virginia law.
A range of strategic issues is set forth at the outset of the volume -- applicable to all causes of action. Then the case law is arrayed on the chestnuts of Virginia law, such as the extensive treatment of pleading and motion practice, issues with the identification and naming of parties, pretrial discovery in all its manifestations, and each of the recognized “exceptions” to the basic rules of practice that are viable for argumentation in the Commonwealth.
