"Any request for an extension of time . . . will be looked
upon with disfavor." U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia Local Rule 7(I)
Have you or has your company just been sued or threatened with a
lawsuit in the Eastern District of Virginia Rocket Docket?
Regardless of what you have heard, it is true that the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia is a
unique and special forum. Attorneys who regularly appear in courts
throughout the United States appreciate that local practice and
custom diverge from one court to the next, despite the overarching
constraints of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The EDVA
Rocket Docket is exceptional not only because of its speed in
adjudicating cases, and it is fast, but also because of its
tradition of excellence that makes no concessions in its demand for
high- caliber advocacy in the face of a rapid-pace litigation
environment.
