Statute of Limitations for Civil Rights Cases in Virginia
Statute of Limitations in 42 U.S.C. § 1983
CIVIL RIGHTS CASES
In Virginia
(When is it too late to file suit?)
Because § 1983 does not contain a limitation period, an appropriate limitation period must be borrowed from the analogous Virginia law cause of action. See Keller v. Prince George’s County, 827 F.2d 952, 955 n.2
