Navigating the 2026 West Virginia “Project Deliverable” Standards

The West Virginia Judiciary has released an updated Circuit Clerk Procedural Manual in March 2026, standardizing recordkeeping and case management across all 55 counties. For pro se litigants, this means stricter enforcement of document formatting: letter-size paper only, no staples, and specific blue/black ink requirements for signatures. West Virginia also continues to use a “Notice of Bona Fide Defense” in certain civil contexts.
