§ 8.01-679.1 Arguments made on brief not waived by oral argument
It shall not be necessary for any party to expressly reserve in oral argument any argument made on brief before an appellate court and failure to raise any such argument on oral argument shall not constitute a waiver.
History
This law was first created in 1986. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 268 of that year’s edition of “Acts of Assembly,” the annual state publication listing all changes made to the Code of Virginia in that year. Unfortunately, the 1986 “Acts” aren’t available online.
