Workers' compensation appeals are unique and are appealed directly to the Supreme Court from the administrative agency. The Supreme Court justices also hear appeals of decisions decided in family court if both parties agree that they will not appeal directly to the circuit court. We are a unified court system, with all circuit, family and magistrate courts comprising the West Virginia Judiciary, overseen by the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia.
