Rule 2.28 Twenty-Eighth Circuit

West Virginia's 28th judicial circuit covers Jefferson County, and this rule sets out when regular court terms begin there. New court terms start three times a year: the third Tuesday in January, the third Tuesday in April, and the third Tuesday in September.

If you have a case in Jefferson County, these dates matter because some deadlines and court procedures are tied to the start of a term. Knowing when a term begins can help you understand the timing of your case and when certain court actions might take place.

If you're unsure how these term dates affect your specific situation, it's a good idea to check with the circuit clerk's office or an attorney for guidance.
