Guide to Virginia Legal Information Resources (2025)

An updated Guide to Virginia Legal Information Resources has been released. This document includes a list of legal information resources covering topics as varied as incorporating a business, contesting a traffic ticket, researching health law, obtaining social security, renting a dwelling, buying a house, and writing a will. This list of resources does not constitute legal advice or answers to questions of law. The list identifies resources for public librarians seeking items for their legal collections and independent researchers seeking legal information. The hypertext links will send the reader to a website where the information is located or send the reader to content within WorldCat. WorldCat.org is a free online catalog which allows the reader to browse the collections of thousands of libraries, including Virginia's public libraries. By clicking on one of the links to a WorldCat record, the reader will see a list of libraries that include that legal resource in their collection. From there, one can either directly access online content that is openly available or click on a link for the library nearest them.
