Virginia Attorney General Opinions, 1835-
|
|
Official opinions of the Attorney General of the State of Virginia:: 1837–, Richmond, State Printer, 1895-; Plus four index volumes covering opinions from 1930-1977.(The office of Attorney General existed in the Colony of Virginia from the earliest times, although the first recorded incumbent was Richard Lee, appointed on 12 Oct. 1643. The first known published report was that of 1837, issued in response to an act of 1836 requiring annual reports from the A.G. office. The practice of annual reports was continued with fair regularity from that time to date, although there are some gaps for the years proceeding and during the Civil War and Reconstruction. Beginning with 1895 the annual reports began to include selected A.G. opinions deemed to be of general public interest. The fact that for many of the states there were differing patterns of publication for the A.G reports and opinions makes for a confusing literature. To minimize confusion in its online offerings, LLMC has chosen to group all of the U.S. state attorney generals’ reports and opinions in two separate series for each state. For the Virginia A.G. Reports, see the separate Opinions series elsewhere on this site.) (Opinions in the Early State Record collection were digitized from a microfilm copy of titles originally held by the Library of Congress).
