A blog that analyzes appellate issues and opinions from the Supreme Court of Virginia and Court of Appeals of Virginia
virginiaappeals.orgHere are some recent major developments involving the Virginia Supreme Court (as reported in late 2025 and early 2026):
- College board appointment dispute (Youngkin appointees): The Virginia Supreme Court heard an appeal about whether appointments made by Gov. Glenn Youngkin can serve on the governing boards of multiple Virginia universities—after a lower-court action had suspended certain appointees.[1]
- AG appeal status in that same matter: In a later step, the Virginia Supreme Court refused to review an appeal related to the suspension of the appointments, while leaving open the possibility of further appeal depending on how the case proceeds.[2]
- Recent Supreme Court of Virginia published decisions/orders (topic roundup): A compiled update notes newly published opinions/orders, including matters involving standards for vacating arbitration awards, sovereign immunity issues involving a medical group subsidiary, and approval of certain utility transmission-related filings.[4]
- Redistricting-related hearing (coverage): There has also been media coverage of Virginia Supreme Court justices sounding skeptical during a hearing tied to a redistricting dispute involving congressional seat changes.[7]
If you tell me what you mean by “latest” (e.g., past 24 hours / past week / past month) and whether you care more about elections, civil cases, or appeals from specific agencies/people, I can narrow this to the most relevant headlines.
