As an annual update, this article discusses decisions from the Supreme Court of Virginia and the Court of Appeals of Virginia reviewing procedural issues. Some of the analysis provides a new perspective on a procedural topic and other parts of the analysis focus on issues where courts are reminding Virginia practitioners of procedural obstacles and pitfalls. The article further discusses revisions to civil procedure provisions of the Code of Virginia and Rules of the Supreme Court of Virginia through June 2024.

The article first addresses relevant procedural issues and analyses in opinions of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals, then new legislation enacted during the 2024 General Assembly Session, and finally revisions to the Rules of the Supreme Court of Virginia.
