The State Decoded project, an independent effort to make freely-available state codes that are more user-friendly. Includes pop-up definitions, cross-references to other code sections, and references to court decisions interpreting code sections. Virginia Decoded is currently in beta, and is not an official version of the code, but has handy research tools that would normally require using a pay service.
