§ 8.01-581.11.Rules and regulations.

This short provision supplies the administrative backbone behind everything else in the review panel chapter. Rather than spelling out every procedural detail in the statute itself, the General Assembly delegated that task to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, directing him or her to promulgate the rules and regulations necessary to carry the chapter’s provisions into effect.

Those rules fill in the operational gaps the statute leaves open — scheduling, forms, and the like — and give the review panel system the procedural detail it needs to function consistently across the Commonwealth’s circuit courts.
