Latest News About Virginia Supreme Court

Here are some of the more recent, high-profile developments involving the Supreme Court of Virginia (and cases it has recently been dealing with), based on the latest items I can access right now:

College board appointments dispute

Glenn Youngkin can serve on the governing boards of multiple Virginia universities (including UVA, George Mason University, and the Virginia Military Institute) after lower-court action suspended certain appointees.

• In a related update, the Virginia Supreme Court refused to review the Attorney General’s appeal in a way that would have stopped the case’s path at that stage, while noting the underlying dispute could still be pursued later after final outcomes.

If you tell me what you mean by “latest news” (e.g., last 24 hours, last week, or specific topics like redistricting vs. higher education appointments), I can narrow this to the most relevant headlines and timelines.
