                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

LEGAL SERVICE TO DISTRICT COURT EMPLOYEES AND MAGISTRATES (§ 16.1-69.39:1)

All legal services for personnel of the district courts or magistrates in civil
matters, including civil litigation, arising out of the performance of their
duties, shall be provided by the office of the Attorney General. If, in the
opinion of the Attorney General, it is impractical or uneconomical for such
service to be rendered by his office, the Committee on District Courts may
employ special counsel for such purpose, whose compensation shall be fixed by
the Committee. The compensation for such special counsel shall be paid out of
the funds appropriated for the administration of the district courts.
