About Virginia Rules

Virginia Rules is Virginia’s new state-specific law-related education program for middle and high school students. The purpose of Virginia Rules is to educate young Virginians about Virginia laws and help them develop skills needed to make sound decisions, to avoid breaking laws, and to become active citizens of their schools and communities.

Virginia Rules features lessons designed for middle and high school students and this web site for use by students, parents, and Virginia Rules instructors. In summer 2009, an initial set of 17 lessons will be available. Instructors will be able to access and download lessons with student worksheets, student topical handouts, and supplemental materials. As the web site is further developed, portals for students and parents and instructors will be further developed to point these users to information on the site developed just for them.
