E.D. Va. Local Criminal Rule 1
Scope of Rules
(A) Application: These Local Rules, made pursuant to the authority granted by Fed. R. Crim. P. 57 for
the United States District Courts, as prescribed by the Supreme Court of the United States, so far as not
inconsistent therewith, shall apply in all criminal cases and criminal proceedings in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Effective March 26, 2007, all documents filed with the Court must be filed through the Electronic Case
Filing System, except as provided otherwise in the Court’s Electronic Case Filing Policies and
Procedures manual (“manual”) which is promulgated and revised by the Clerk. The manual governs if
there is a conflict between it and these Local Rules as to the technicalities of electronic case filing. These
Local Rules govern where the manual provides for filing paper documents, and in all other matters not
involving electronic case filing.
(B) Statutory Rules: 1 U.S.C. §§ 1-5, inclusive, shall, as far as applicable, govern the construction of
these Local Rules.
(C) Effective Date of Amendments: Amendments to these Local Rules shall take effect on the date of
entry of the order authorizing the amendments and shall govern all proceedings thereafter commenced
and, insofar as just and practicable, all then pending proceedings.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
