mass litigation which includes the establishment of a Mass Litigation Panel. The procedure for referral of cases to the Mass Litigation Panel is set forth in <a href="/legal-community/court-rules/wv-trial-court-rules-contents#rule26">West Virginia Trial Court Rule 26</a>.</p><p>The Mass Litigation Panel consists of seven active or senior status circuit court judges appointed by the Chief Justice, with the approval of the Supreme Court of Appeals. Each appointment is for a term of three years and there is no prohibition against serving successive terms. The Chief Justice annually designates a Panel member to serve as its Chair to preside over the activities of the Panel and report to the Supreme Court of Appeals. <a href="/legal-community/court-rules/wv-trial-court-rules-contents#rule2602">West Virginia Trial Court Rule 26.02</a>.</p><p><a href="/lower-courts/mass-litigation-panel/annual-reports">Mass Litigation Panel Annual Reports</a></p><p> </p></div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </section> </section> </main> <div class="sidebar_second sidebar col-md-3 order-last" id="sidebar_second"> <aside class="section" role="complementary"> <section class="container region region-sidebar-second"> <nav role="navigation" aria-labelledby="block-sidebarmasslitigationpanel-2-menu" id="block-sidebarmasslitigationpanel-2" class="block block-menu navigation menu--sidebar---mass-litigation-panel"> <h2 class="visually-hidden" id="block-sidebarmasslitigationpanel-2-menu">Sidebar -
