Under Va. Code § 55.1-1261, the Eviction Diversion Pilot Program is administered at the judicial level by the Executive Secretary of the Supreme Court of Virginia, meaning the courts involved in the Program operate under a standardized framework. Landlords who file eviction cases in participating general district courts may find that judges have received specific training related to the Program's procedures. Operators familiar with how the Program is structured are generally better positioned to understand what to expect when their cases are heard in a participating court.
