                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

COURTS AND JUDICIAL CIRCUITS (§ 15.2-3514)

Until changed by law, the same judicial circuits shall continue, though this may
result in the consolidated county or city being a part of two or more circuits.
All such courts shall, however, be held at the place designated as the seat of
the consolidated county or administrative offices of the city, and each such
court shall continue to have and exercise the same jurisdiction as it had and
exercised before such consolidation. If two or more judges have jurisdiction in
any consolidated county or city, they or a majority of them shall exercise the
power to appoint officers and fill vacancies as is vested in judges of circuit
courts of other counties and cities.
