Deadline in Virginia

In Virginia, a party generally has 30 days to file a notice of appeal with the Supreme Court of Virginia, as set forth in Va. Sup. Ct. R. 5:9(a). The 30-day period runs from the date of the final judgment or order being appealed. This rule governs the deadline for initiating an appeal in the state’s highest court, and the official source provides the precise text of the requirement. The worked example below illustrates how this 30-day timeline applies in a straightforward scenario, though individual circumstances may vary. For a specific case, the calculator can estimate the deadline based on the relevant judgment date and applicable rules.
