Court of Appeals of Virginia
The Court of Appeals of Virginia, established January 1, 1985, is an eleven-judge body that hears appeals from decisions of Virginia's circuit courts and the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission. The Court sits in panels of at least three judges, and sometimes hears cases en banc. Appeals from the Court of Appeals go to the Supreme Court of Virginia.
== History ==
The need for expanded appellate capacity was first recognized in 1971. The report〔''Report of the Court System Study Commission to The Governor and The General Assembly of Virginia'', Virginia House Document No. 6 (1972 Regular Session) (1971)〕 of the Virginia Court System Study Commission, composed of distinguished legislators and members of the bench and bar, recommended a reorganization plan for a unified court system. The Commission, chaired by former Chief Justice Lawrence W. I'Anson, recognized the need for an intermediate appellate court in Virginia which would absorb the bulk of review of circuit court appeals, while preserving the Supreme Court as a single body concentrating on the development of the law.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.courts.state.va.us/courts/cav/cavinfo.pdf )〕
In 1978, a comprehensive study of the Virginia court system conducted by the National Center for State Courts also recommended that the appellate capacity of the Virginia courts be increased by creating an intermediate Court of Appeals. In 1982, the Judicial Council of Virginia proposed legislation for a twelve judge intermediate appellate court. Finally, in 1983, the General Assembly created the Court of Appeals of Virginia, effective January 1, 1985. E. Ballard Baker was the first chief judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.〔
Since the establishment of the Court of Appeals, appellate capacity has increase 38.8%. The number petitions acted upon has risen each year, achieving the desired goal of increasing appellate capacity in the court system.〔
