| Adopted by the 1991 Session of the General Assembly, Joint House Resolution No. 435 (HJR 435 requested that the Joint Committee of the Virginia State Bar and Virginia Bar Association ("Joint Committee") study the feasibility of mandatory, non-binding arbitration which would be annexed to the courts of the Commonwealth. The Committee chairman appointed a subcommittee, which was assigned the task of performing the necessary research. The Subcommittee chairman and one other member began this research and proposed a timetable and an application for a three thousand dollar ($3,000) grant from the Law Foundation of the Virginia State Bar/Virginia Bar Association. The $3,000 grant with which the subcommittee chairman was able to hire research assistants was approved, and research began on July 1, 1991. Also, the Chairman of the Joint Committee and two other members of the Joint Committee joined the subcommittee in its subsequent deliberations. |
