W.Va. R. Civ. P. 78
As amended through January 31, 2024
Unless local conditions make it impracticable, each court shall establish regular times and places, at intervals sufficiently frequent for the prompt dispatch of business, at which motions requiring notice and hearing may be heard and disposed of; but the judge at any time or place and on such notice, if any, as the judge considers reasonable may make orders for the advancement, conduct, and hearing of actions. A duly elected special judge may serve on motion day the same as at other times.
To expedite its business, the court may make provision by rule or order for the submission and determinatino of motions without oral hearing upon brief written statements of reasons in support and opposition.
