Va. R. Evid. 2:106
Remainder of a Writing or Recorded Statement
(a) Related Portions of a Writing in Civil and Criminal Cases. When part of a writing or
recorded statement is introduced by a party, upon motion by another party the court may require
the offering party to introduce any other part of the writing or recorded statement which ought in
fairness to be considered contemporaneously with it, unless such additional portions are
inadmissible under the Rules of Evidence.
(b) Lengthy Documents in Civil cases. To expedite trials in civil cases, upon timely motion,
the court may permit the reading to the jury, or the introduction into evidence, of relevant
portions of lengthy and complex documents without the necessity of having the jury hear or
receive the entire document. The court, in its discretion, may permit the entire document to be
received by the jury, or may order the parties to edit from any such document admitted into
evidence information that is irrelevant to the proceedings.
