INSPECTION AND RETURN OF RECORDS; CERTIORARI WHEN PART OF RECORD IS OMITTED;
RETENTION OF RECORDS (§ 8.01-675.4)

When a case has previously been in an appellate court, the Court of Appeals may
inspect the record of the former appeal. The court may, in any case, after
reasonable notice to counsel in the appellate court, award a writ of certiorari
to the clerk of the trial court and have brought before it, when part of a
record is omitted, the whole or any part of such record. As soon as a case is
decided, the clerk of the Court of Appeals shall cause the appendix, if any, and
briefs of counsel to be recorded and preserved in any manner which meets
archival standards as recommended by the Archives and Records Division of The
Library of Virginia.
