2011 Digest of the Acts of the General DIGEST OF THE ACTS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF VIRGINIA AT THE 2011 SESSION which commenced at the Capitol in the City of Richmond on January 12, 2011, and adjourned sine die February 27, 2011. Published for THE VIRGINIA CODE COMMISSION by THE DIVISION OF LEGISLATIVE SERVICES Commonwealth of Virginia Virginia Code Commission General Assembly Building Richmond, Virginia 23219 2011 MEMBERS OF THE VIRGINIA CODE COMMISSION John S. Edwards, Chairman Bill Janis, Vice-Chairman James M. LeMunyon Ryan T. McDougle Robert L. Calhoun Thomas M. Moncure, Jr. Patricia West Charles S. Sharp Wesley G. Russell, Jr. Frank S. Ferguson E. M. Miller, Jr. PREFACE ________________________________________ For several decades the Division of Legislative Services annually has prepared for the Vir- ginia Code Commission a Digest of the Acts. The Digest gives an overview of the legislation adopted during the Regular and Reconvened Sessions of the General Assembly of Virginia, prior to publication of the Acts of Assembly. The Internet, on-line access to the General Assembly's Legislative Information System, and more rapid dissemination of published and on-line Code updates today have greatly increased timely access to this information. However, we find that there is still a need for a document pro- viding quick access to information about pending changes in specific sections of the Code of Vir- ginia. Beginning in 2009, a modified version of the Digest was instituted in the current format. Part A of the Digest is an index of all Code sections amended, added, or repealed by the 2011 General Assembly. The index is arranged in numerical order by Code Title and section. For each Code section, all bills affecting that section are listed, as are the corresponding chapters of the 2011 Acts of Assembly. For on-line users, each bill is linked to the summary and legislative his- tory of the bill on the General Assembly Legislative Information System. The acts of the 2011 General Assembly will become effective on July 1, 2011, unless other- wise designated in the act itself. Users are encouraged to reference the legislative history of a bill on the Legislative Information System, or the act itself, to determine if a different effective date has been specified. Please note that the section numbers appearing in this publication are those assigned to bills at the time of drafting. Due to conflicts with other numbers already assigned, or in order to effect a more logical placement, the Virginia Code Commission in its codification of the acts may change the numbers contained in an act as shown in this Digest. The final section number assignments can be determined after the Code supplements are published by consulting the "Table of Acts Codified Subsequent to 1948" in Volume 10 of the Code. Part B of the Digest contains a summary of each bill that was enacted by the 2011 General Assembly. These brief summaries are not detailed synopses of the acts, but are intended to point out the major features of new measures or the principal changes in existing law. Anyone desiring more detailed information about an act should obtain its full text. The arrangement of the bills parallels the title and section number organization of the Code of Virginia. Some titles have a "Miscellaneous" section containing acts that usually do not have Code section numbers but are related to the subject matter of that title. Uncodified appropriation, bond, claims, and constitutional amendment measures are included at the end of the Summary. Following the summaries is a chart showing all bills passed during the 2011 Regular and Reconvened Sessions of the General Assembly that have become law by virtue of being signed by the Governor and the pages where their summaries appear in Part B. Bills passed by the General Assembly but vetoed by the Governor are omitted. The summaries in Part B, which also appear on the Legislative Information System, were written by the staff of the Division of Legislative Services. The Digest was prepared by Stephanie Kerns, Senior Staff Assistant, with the assistance of Larry Garton, DLAS Senior Systems Analyst.

Ky., has applied to the SEC for exemption from the registration provisions of Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, applicable to certain issuers whose equity securities are traded over-the-counter; and the Commission has issued an order scheduling the application for hearing on November 22, 1965. Granting of the requested exemption would also exempt Merit Clothing from the periodic reporting and proxy provisions of the Exchange Act, and its "insiders" would be exempt from the reporting and related provisions of Section 16 of the Act. According to the application, Merit Clothing is engaged in the manufacture of men's clothing. As of May 31, 1965, it had outstanding 1,000 preferred and 180,000 common shares, held by 55 and 1,259 individuals respectively. Merit Clothing does not believe that the Exchange Act requires the registration of its pre- ferred stock. Of the 1,259 common stock owners on May 31st, 1,149 were employees or customers and the re- maining 110 were former employees or their heirs. There is said to be virtually no trading interest in the common stock. The application further indi- cates that no brokerage firm has ever made a market for the Merit Clothing common stock, or is likely to do so in view of the nature of the company's business, its position in the clothing manufacturing industry, and its poor financial history.

General average is one of the most ancient vestiges of maritime law and practice. Although the decline of Ancient Greece and the rise of the Roman Empire altered the influence of Rhodes maritime law; Rhodes retained its existence as a uniform code, since it was peaceful and profitable for Mediterranean trade. The Mediterranean Sea was, for more than one thousand years, only ruled by the Rhodian law, although augmented with some additions by the Romans.

The SEC today announced the issuance of a decision under the Securities Exchange Act (Release 34-7248) revoking the broker-dealer registration of Richard Bronner Hambrick, dba R. B. Hambrick Investments, 1443 North 4th St., Abilene, Texas, for violations of the anti- fraud and other provisions of the Federal securities laws in the offer and sale of stock of Life Insurance stock Fund, Inc., as well as the offer and sale of investment contracts arising from the sale of a "package" program consisting of Stock Fund shares and insurance policies, and of an "equity funding plan" involving bank financing of insurance premiums for investors and the investment of "dividends" from insurance policies in Stock Fund shares. Hambrick consented to the revocation order, as did certain firms and individuals alleged to control Hambrick's business (each of whom was named a cause of the revocation order), as follows: Key Western Investment Corporation, Key Western Life Insurance Company, Western Fidelity Life Insurance Company, Jack McQueen and Dan T. Sorrells. According to the Commission's decision, Hambrick, together with or aided and abetted by the other respondents, engaged in a "fraudulent course of conduct," in that they prepared and permitted and arranged for the distribution of flamboyant and misleading sales material describing the securities sold by them, and made numerous false and misleading statements.

  • Justinian's Redaction
    JUSTINIAN'S REDACTION. "Forhim there are no dry husks of doctrine; each is the vital develop- ment of a living germ. There is no single bud or fruit of it but has an ancestry of thousands of years; no topmost twig that does not greet with the sap drawn from -he dark burrows underground; no fibre torn away from it but has been twisted and strained by historic wheels. For him, the Roman law, that masterpiece of national growth, is no sealed book ..... ... but is a reservoir of doctrine, drawn from the watershed of a world's civilization!'* For to-day's student of law, what worth has the half- dozen years' activity of a few Greek-speakers by the Bos- phorus nearly fourteen centuries ago? Chancellor Kent says: "With most of the European nations, and in the new states of Spanish America, and in one of the United States, it (Roman law) constitutes the principal basis of their unwritten or common law. It exerts a very considerable influence on our own municipal law, and particularly on those branches of it which are of equity and admiralty jurisdiction, or fall within the cognizance of the surrogate or consistorial courts . It is now taught and obeyed not only in France, Spain, Germany, Holland, and Scotland, but in the islands of the Indian Ocean, and on the banks of the Mississippi and St. Lawrence. So true, it seems, are the words of d'Agnesseau, that 'the grand destinies of Rome are not yet accomplished; she reigns throughout the world by her reason, after having ceased to reign by her authority?'" And of the honored jurists whose names are carved on the stones of the Law Building of the University of Pennsyl- vania another may be cited as viewing the matter from a different standpoint.

  • A Corpus Approach to Roman Law Based on Justinian's Digest
    informatics Article A Corpus Approach to Roman Law Based on Justinian’s Digest Marton Ribary 1,* and Barbara McGillivray 2,3 1 School of Law, University of Surrey, Guildford GU2 7XH, UK 2 Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB3 9DA, UK; [email protected] 3 The Alan Turing Institute, London NW1 2DB, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 21 September 2020; Accepted: 13 October 2020; Published: 15 October 2020 Abstract: Traditional philological methods in Roman legal scholarship such as close reading and strict juristic reasoning have analysed law in extraordinary detail. Such methods, however, have paid less attention to the empirical characteristics of legal texts and occasionally projected an abstract framework onto the sources. The paper presents a series of computer-assisted methods to open new frontiers of inquiry. Using a Python coding environment, we have built a relational database of the Latin text of the Digest, a historical sourcebook of Roman law compiled under the order of Emperor Justinian in 533 CE. Subsequently, we investigated the structure of Roman law by automatically clustering the sections of the Digest according to their linguistic profile. Finally, we explored the characteristics of Roman legal language according to the principles and methods of computational distributional semantics. Our research has discovered an empirical structure of Roman law which arises from the sources themselves and complements the dominant scholarly assumption that Roman law rests on abstract structures. By building and comparing Latin word embeddings models, we were also able to detect a semantic split in words with general and legal sense.
