Notes

The Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery existed from 1831 to 1851 when it was replaced by the Circuit Court.

For these cases the court sat in chancery which meant it acted as a court of equity. Equity law is a body of legal and procedural rules and doctrines which supplement or override common and statute law to protect rights and enforce duties defined or fixed by substantive law. The court usually dealt with cases which did not need a jury, such as divorces or foreclosures. Orders are judgments based on those laws.

Includes general indexes (indexes v. 1-15). Volumes are also individually indexed.

Microfilm of original records at the Lee County Courthouse in Jonesville, Virginia.
