EDWIN PAUL CAULEY ATTORNEY CODE
* Section 2.1-118 of the Code of Virginia authorizes the Attorney General of Virginia to render official opinions to the Governor, members of the General Assembly, judges, the State Corporation Commission, state agency heads, and certain local officials. Members of the general public are not authorized to ask for opinions. A person authorized by statute, such as the governor, a member of the General Assembly, a constitutional officer, or the head of a state agency, can ask the attorney general for an official opinion on the law. The official opinions issued by the attorney general are part of the duties of the office (see Code § 2.2-505). While the opinions may be given deference by the courts, they are not binding on the courts. Such advice is provided to ensure clients/the requester are in compliance with the law. Official opinions are legal advice, not personal opinions, and do not reflect the attorney general's personal views about what the law should be. Creating and amending laws are the responsibility of the General Assembly, not the attorney general. They are not "rulings" and do not create new law, nor do they change existing law. IMPORTANT NOTE: Official opinions represent the attorney general's analysis of current law based on his thorough research of existing statutes, the Virginia and United States constitutions, and relevant court decisions. Please check this page at regular intervals to determine whether additional opinions have been issued. Official opinions will be posted as they are issued, generally within 24 to 48 hours.
