Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals
Opinions
of the Supreme Court of Appeals,
http://www.state.wv.us/wvsca/opinions.htm
Description:
When the Court grants a petition for appeal, the case is set for briefing
and oral argument, if necessary, and is then submitted to the Court for
decision. When the Court decides the case, it issues a printed document
called a slip opinion, which contains the decision of the Court, as well
as information about the case, the authorship of the opinion, and the
syllabus. The "slip opinions" appearing on this Web site are
not the final, official opinions of the Court. Readers are therefore advised,
that opinions of the Court remain subject to clerical correction until
officially published in the bound volumes of the West Virginia Reports
(West Publishing Co.).
