Right To Counsel In Virginia
University of Richmond Law Review
The sixth amendment guarantees to an accused the right to assistance of counsel, and this right is extended to state prosecutions through the Due Process clause of the fourteenth amendment. The Supreme Court has interpreted this right to include steps in the proceeding before the trial itself has commenced. In United States v. Wade and Gilbert v.

Local Government Law In Virginia, 1870-1970, Patrick M. Mcsweeney
University of Richmond Law Review
Virginia has never faced more pressing local problems. Both the population and the economy have grown so rapidly in the last several decades that the traditional system of local government has been strained and perhaps even rendered obsolete. This system was established when Virginia was a predominantly rural and agricultural state.

Virginia's Drear Aridities: Its Rule Of Perpetuities, D. Orville Lahy
University of Richmond Law Review
Whereas most Virginia lawyers know about the rule against perpetuities, many of the same lawyers do not know what it is all about. Perpetuities is a dry and dismal subject to an active practitioner, and the state of abject bewilderment with which he was indoctrinated about the rule against perpetuities while in law school lingers on to haunt his memory. for the balance of his professional career. It is not until an actual client appears with a perpetuities problem that the same practitioner is forced to face the stark realities of the rule. It is only then that the complexities …
