difference between first and second class cities in virginia
Administrative divisions of Virginia Virginia's independent cities were classified by the Virginia General Assembly in 1871 as cities of the first class and cities of the second class.[5] The Virginia Constitution of 1902 included defined first-class cities as those having a population of 10,000 or more based upon the last census enumeration, while second-class cities were those that had a population of fewer than 10,000.[5] Cities which previously had been granted a city charter, but did not have the requisite population, had their status grandfathered in.[5] Second-class cities did not have a court of record and were required to share the cost of that court with their adjacent county and also shared the cost for three constitutional officers of that court — generally, the clerk, commonwealth's attorney and sheriff — and those shared officers stood for election in both the city and the county.[5] At least two constitutional officers — treasurer and commissioner of the revenue — were required to be elected solely by the residents of the city.[5] The distinction between first- and second-class cities was ended with the Virginia Constitution of 1971.[5] But cities that were classified as second-class cities at the time of the adoption of the 1971 Virginia Constitution were authorized to continue sharing their court system and three constitutional officers with the adjacent county.[5] As of 2003[update], 14 of Virginia's independent cities retain these features.[5]
Summary judgment Where appropriate, a court may award judgment summarily upon fewer than all claims. This is known as "partial summary judgment".
Time Earth is split up into a number of time zones. Most time zones are exactly one hour apart, and by convention compute their local time as an offset from GMT. For example, time zones at sea are based on GMT. In many locations (but not at sea) these offsets vary twice yearly due to daylight saving time transitions.
