Virginia. After attending a civil court appearance this week in Virginia the defense counsel attempted to submit an order that he had dated 5 months earlier for the judge to sign. I objected and do not agree that a professional should be able to try and fabricate orders 5 months after the fact when the judge does not write the orders, take notes or even have a court reporter. I know people have the right to a speedy trial but is there also an assumption that orders would be written in an appropriate time frame? It seems unethical to try and have a judge sign an order that he can not remember any details on.
Any suggestion for a defense against people trying to push orders through 5 months after the fact with not court documentation?
