W. Va. Trial Ct. R. 24.01

(a) Unless otherwise directed by the presiding judicial officer, all orders shall be submitted to the judicial officer promptly, but no later than eleven (11) days after having been directed to do so by the court. When counsel responsible for the preparation and presentation of an order unreasonably delays or withholds its presentation, the order may then be prepared and entered by the judicial officer.

(b) Except for good cause or unless otherwise determined by the judicial officer, no order may be presented for entry unless it bears the signature of all counsel and unrepresented parties.

(c) Although it is preferred that orders be entered in accordance with subsection (b), unless the judicial officer otherwise directs, counsel responsible for the preparation and presentation of an order may submit the original of the proposed order to the judicial officer within eleven (11) days, with a copy to opposing counsel along with a notice to note objections and exceptions to the order within five (5) days after receipt of the proposed order or such lesser time as the judicial officer directs. Opposing counsel shall notify the presiding judicial officer, in writing, of his or her approval of or objection to the order or any portion thereof. In the event this subsection is utilized, the judicial officer shall consider the order for entry upon approval by all counsel, or after five (5) days from its receipt, if no objection is received by the judicial officer.

(d) In the event counsel has any objections regarding the wording or content of a proposed order, counsel shall have the affirmative duty of contacting the preparer thereof before contacting the judicial officer in an effort to seek a resolution of the conflict. If the conflict cannot be resolved in this manner, counsel having an objection shall promptly submit a proposed order to the judicial officer and opposing counsel as set forth in subsection (c) along with a letter to the judicial officer, indicating the reason for the change(s). Within five (5) days following receipt of objections and the responsive proposed order, all counsel shall file a response to the second proposed order. If the judicial officer determines that a hearing is necessary to resolve the conflict, counsel objecting to the order shall be responsible for promptly scheduling the same. Objecting, proposing modifications, or agreeing to the form of a proposed order shall not affect a party's rights to appeal the substance of the order.
