PLACES OF HOLDING COURTS; CERTAIN ORDERS AND DECREES ENTERED ELSEWHERE (§
17.1-113)

Every circuit court for any county or city shall be held at the courthouse of
such county or city, except when some other place is prescribed by law or
lawfully appointed. However, the judge of the circuit court of any county or
city may enter any order or decree at his home or office or elsewhere within his
circuit.
		In the interest of justice, the chief judges of the Twenty-first and the
Twenty-third Judicial Circuits may, by order, designate one or more of the
courtrooms of any circuit court within their respective circuits as the
courtroom or courtrooms in which civil or criminal cases whose venue is laid
within the circuit may be tried. In criminal cases, jurors summoned to appear at
such courtroom or courtrooms shall reside in the locality in which the crime was
committed, except as otherwise provided by law.
