Supreme Court of Virginia

The Supreme Court of Virginia is the highest judicial authority in the state, responsible for interpreting the law and ensuring laws are applied fairly. It reviews cases involving legal issues, such as appeals from lower courts, and makes final decisions that set legal precedents in Virginia. Comprising seven justices appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the General Assembly, the court operates independently to uphold the rule of law, protect individual rights, and ensure justice is served in the state's legal system.
