                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

APPLICATION FOR SUCH GRAND JURY (§ 19.2-215.2)

Provided the Attorney General has approved the application in writing prior to
submission, application for a multi-jurisdiction grand jury may be made to the
Supreme Court of Virginia by two or more attorneys for the Commonwealth from
jurisdictions which would be within the original scope of the investigation. The
application shall be in writing and shall state (i) which jurisdictions will be
involved in the original scope of the investigation, (ii) in which jurisdiction
it is requested that the multi-jurisdiction grand jury be convened, (iii) the
name or names of the attorneys for the Commonwealth or their assistants who will
serve as special counsel to the grand jury, (iv) the name of the attorney who
shall direct the grand jury proceedings. The presiding judge may extend or limit
the jurisdictional territory of the investigation, for good cause shown, upon
the motion of a grand jury already convened. Notice of every such application
shall be given to the attorneys for the Commonwealth in the jurisdictions named
in the application and, if the original scope of the investigation is extended
into other jurisdictions, notice of such extension shall be given to the
attorneys for the Commonwealth in the jurisdictions into which the investigation
is extended.
