A Legislative Reference Bureau For West Virginia, Maurice T. Van Hecke

West Virginia Law Review

This paper suggests the benefits that might be derived from the establishment and maintenance of a legislative reference bureau in West Virginia. Similar agencies are now functioning in a majority of the states and at the national capital. It is understood that a need for such a bureau has developed in this state, and that a bill providing for the creation of a legislative reference bureau will be presented to the legislature at this session.
