Va. Sup. Ct. R. 5:25
Preservation of Issues for Appellate Review
No ruling of the trial court, disciplinary board, commission, or other tribunal before
which the case was initially hea rd will be considered as a basis for reversal unless an
objection was stated with reasonable certainty at the time of the ruling, except for good
cause shown or to enable this Court to attain the ends of justice. A mere statement that
the judgment or award is contrary to the law and the evide nce is not sufficient to preserve
the issue for appellate review.
