D.V.I. LRCi 24.1
Procedure for Notification of Claim of Unconstitutionality
(a) In any action, suit, or proceeding in which the Territory or any agency, officer, or
employee thereof is not a party, and in which the constitutionality of any statute of the Territory
affecting the public interest is drawn into question, the party raising the constitutional issue shall
notify the Court of the existence of the question both by checking the appropriate box on the
Civil Cover Sheet and by stating on the pleading that alleges the unconstitutionality,
immediately following the title of that pleading, “Claim of Unconstitutionality” or the
equivalent.
(b) Failure to notify the Court as provided in subsection (a) is not a waiver of any
constitutional right otherwise timely asserted.
