                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

SUBSTITUTION OF COUNSEL (§ 16.1-69.32:1)

Except in case of court-appointed counsel, no rule of court shall be made or
construed so as to preclude substitution of counsel in civil and criminal cases
in the district courts, nor shall any order or appearance in person, be
required, to relieve original counsel of his duties in any such case. It shall
be sufficient that new counsel represents to the court that the substitution is
made pursuant to agreement by the parties represented and original counsel.
