In March 2007, Brian W. Stolarz worked for a high-powered firm in Washington, D.C. when he took on a pro bono capital case in Houston, Texas. This was a high-profile murder of a police officer, but within a few moments of meeting him Brian knew “…Alfred Dewayne Brown was stone-cold innocent….” Eight years and three months later Dewayne walked out of prison a free man. It’s a story about the death penalty, decency, forgiveness, faith, and perseverance, and the emotional impact on a dedicated lawyer, and highlights why pro bono cases are such an important part of guaranteeing access to justice.

Space is limited so register today for the next program in the Association’s “Private Con-versation Series” on Thursday, November 2nd from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. Joining Mr. Stolarz, who is now a partner at LeClairRyan, will be Michael N. Herring, Commonwealth Attorney for the City of Richmond and moderator Stephen A. Northup of Troutman Sanders. This interactive program will explore the challenges of implementing Virginia’s death penalty in the 21st century. See page 2 for more details on the event.

The Hon. Jayne A. Pemberton, Chief Judge of the Chesterfield Juvenile & Domestic Relations District Court, would like to make members aware of the Court’s new continuance policy. To provide timely justice for citizens without wasting the time and other resources of the Court, the litigants, and other case participants, the Court will evaluate continuance requests on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the moving party or parties have presented the requisite good cause in support of the request.

As a guide to practitioners, the following will generally not be considered sufficient cause to grant a continuance:• Counsel or the parties agree to a continuance without prior judicial approval;• The case has not previously been continued;• Discovery has not been completed;• The untimely hiring of counsel or the desire to substitute counsel;• Unavailability of a witness for whom no subpoena request has been issued;• A party or counsel is unprepared to try the case for reasons including, but not limited to, the party’s failure to maintain necessary contact with counsel or vice versa;• A police officer or other witness is either in training or is scheduled to be on vacation, unless the Court is advised of the con

flict sufficiently in advance to prevent an inconvenience to the attorneys, the parties, witnesses, and the Court.The following will generally be considered sufficient cause to grant a continuance:• Recent or sudden medical, mental health, or otherwise debilitating emergency (not elective medical care) involving a party,

counsel, or material witness for whom a subpoena has been requested;• A party did not receive proper notice of the setting of the trial date through no fault of that party or that party’s counsel;• Facts or circumstances arising or becoming apparent too late in the proceedings to be fully corrected and which, in the view

of the Court, would likely cause undue hardship or miscarriage of justice if the trial is required to proceed as scheduled.When any continuance request is granted, it shall be the moving party’s responsibility to coordinate the rescheduling of the case with

the Clerk’s Office. Please note that there are no changes to the current way juvenile traffic continuances are requested.To obtain a copy of the complete continuance policy or continuance request form (pdf or fillable versions available), please contact

Laura G. Griffin, Clerk of the Court at lgriffin@vacourts.gov.Members are also asked to note that Chesterfield and Colonial Heights General District and J&DR courts have a new email exchange.

Court personnel are still using the original prefixes; however, that is now followed by @vacourts.gov.

Chesterfield J&DR Court adopts new continuance policy; District Courts using new e-mail exchange
