Code of Virginia
The Code of Virginia is the statutory law of the U.S. state of Virginia, and consists of the codified legislation of the Virginia General Assembly. The 1950 Code of Virginia is the revision currently in force. The previous official versions were the Codes of 1819, 1849, 1887, and 1919, though other compilations had been printed privately as early as 1733, and other editions have been issued that were not designated full revisions of the code.
==Publishing and access==
The official version of the Code of Virginia is published by the Michie Company〔Michie’s, or the Michie Company, is a national publisher of state codes. It was originally an independent company and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Reed Elsevier, the parent company of LexisNexis.〕 under contract with the Virginia Code Commission, the governmental body responsible for printing and maintaining the code. ''West’s Annotated Code of Virginia'' is an unofficial, competing version issued by West Publishing, which includes more cross-references and West keynumbers. The Virginia government also makes the code available without annotations for free on the internet.
, the printed Code of Virginia consists of twenty-nine hardcover volumes, with a two-volume subject matter index that is replaced annually. The statutes are fully annotated by Virginia attorneys, and include cites to and summaries of Virginia state and federal court decisions as well as law reviews. The first volume of the Code of Virginia also prints the Virginia Constitution and the Constitution of the United States.
The government of Virginia claims copyright over the Code, including the text of statutes.〔(Va. Code § 30-147 ) provides, in part, that "All parts of any code published or authorized to be published by the Commission, including statute text, regulation text, catchlines, historical citations, numbers of sections, articles, chapters and titles, frontal analyses and revisor's notes, shall become and remain the exclusive property of the Commonwealth to be used only as the Commission may direct." Due process considerations nevertheless require some extent of free public copying and distribution of the statutes themselves, though not necessarily the accompanying annotations and other material.〕 Individual preparers, however, may obtain rights over case annotations, indices, and various notes concerning sections and reference tables they have written.
