Laws of Another State - VCU cannot accept


1.    We substitute the laws of Virginia in agreements with commercial/for profit concerns, and organizations that insert the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the U.S.  The following language explains this:

VCU is an instrumentality of the Commonwealth of Virginia.  By direction of the Attorney General of the Commonwealth, we are not allowed to execute documents accepting the laws of any other state.  We have changed [insert reference] to reflect use of the laws of Virginia.



2.     We may remain mute on the matter.  This strategy must be used with other states, which in turn cannot agree to VA law.  It may also be used with foundations and other non-profits. The following language explains this:

VCU is an instrumentality of the Commonwealth of Virginia.  By direction of the Attorney General of the Commonwealth, we are not allowed to execute documents accepting the laws of any other state.  We can remain silent on the matter, which we have elected to do: we have deleted your [insert reference]
