Talk:United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia

Eastern District of Virginia

Many of the US District Courts for particular districts have Redirects to the full name. The Eastern District of Virginia does not have such a redirect. --DThomsen8 (talk) 19:37, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

 Done [1]. In the future, please feel free to be WP:BOLD and just create the redirect. TJRC (talk) 21:18, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Judge list

Is there any reason the E.D.Va. page does not list judges the same way almost every other U.S. Court page has them listed?--Skyywise (talk) 21:37, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Good question. Possibly because of historical reasons, and there once having been only a single district court for Virgina. TJRC (talk) 21:48, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

jurisdiction wider

http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Khobar_Towers_bombing#Indictment shows the court has jurisdiction outside of the us, so much wider than 6 million people. It would be good to know HOW CAN THIS BE. What law is it based upon? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.113.96.60 (talk) 21:16, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned references in United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "January 5 1864":

• From List of federal judges appointed by Abraham Lincoln: Recess appointment; formally nominated on January 5, 1864, confirmed by the United States Senate on January 20, 1864, and received commission on January 20, 1864.
• From List of judges of the United States District Court for the Districts of Virginia: Recess appointment; formally nominated on January 5, 1864, confirmed by the United States Senate on January 25, 1864, and received commission on January 25, 1864.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 19:54, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

T.S. ellis and his bias towards paul manafort.

Seriously???? Where is the justice this man ran scheme after scheme for a decade then turned around and made a mockery of our judicial system by acting as an informant to trump while in a plea agreement and got a slap on the wrist. I suggest you look into who paid this judge off. I understand that I'm a nobody and I would get 5 times the time for stealing a pair of $120.00 shoes. This sentence is ridiculous.

Courthouses / Jurisdiction

Article says both Newport News and Norfolk divisions are co-located at the courthouse in Norfolk, but that is inaccurate - there is a United States Courthouse in Newport News. Mueller921 (talk) 10:48, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
