Steve Emmert devotes his practice to one area of the law:
He is currently the Chair-Elect of the Boyd-Graves Conference, an invitation-only group of lawyers, judges, Virginia legislators, and law professors who study possible changes to Virginia law and make recommendations to the General Assembly and to the Supreme Court of Virginia when a clear majority of the Conference deems it advisable.
In 2008, he helped establish a new Appellate Practice Section within the Virginia Bar Association. He is the founder and publisher of the website Virginia Appellate News & Analysis (www.virginia-appeals.com), offering same-day analysis of appellate opinions.
