The Supreme Court of Virginia is the highest court in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It primarily hears direct appeals in civil cases from the trial-level city and county circuit courts, as well as the criminal law, family law and administrative law cases that are initially appealed to the Court of Appeals of Virginia. It is one of the oldest continuously active judicial bodies in the United States. It was known as the Supreme Court of Appeals until 1970, when it was renamed the Supreme Court of Virginia because it has original as well as appellate jurisdiction.

  • Het Hooggerechtshof van Virginia is de hoogste rechtssprekende bevoegdheid in de deelstaat Virginia van de Verenigde Staten en een van de oudste nog bestaande gerechtshoven in Amerika. De wortels van het hooggerechtshof liggen in de 17e eeuw, toen in 1606 door de Britten de kolonie Jamestown werd gesticht en het Engelse rechtssysteem werd ingevoerd. In 1623 creĆ«erde het , de wetgevende macht van Virginia, een rechtbank waar men in beroep kon gaan tegen eerder gedane uitspraken. In 1779, aan de vooravond van de oorlog tegen de Britten, werd het gerechtshof omgevormd tot het Supreme Court of Appeals. Deze rechtbank werd in 1970 met de invoering van een nieuwe grondwet in Virginia officieel omgedoopt tot het Supreme Court of Virginia. (nl)
