Virginia's New "Long Arm" Statute, J. Westwood Smithers

University of Richmond Law Review

At its recent 1964 session, the General Assembly of Virginia enacted a statute which will widely expand the jurisdiction of our courts over nonresidents. The purpose of this brief editorial is to call attention to the new law, to provide a copy of it for our readers, and to make a few rather cursory comments on its significance.
