Records For Appellate Courts Show Heavy Case Preparation
Virginia Circuit Court files reveal the costly labor of appellate prep. The Walter Campbell v Eastern Building and Loan record spans 235 pages and about 7 000 words, with another threefold larger file in the Hotel Evans suit Rams et al v H Dovel et al. Each page costs 25 cents to the clerk, making these documents lucrative yet ruinous for defeated litigants.
