A bill that passed the General Assembly on 15 March 1950 allowed
Virginia women to serve on juries for the first time; a bill that passed
in 1952 allowed Virignia women to serve on grand juries for the first
time.

I presume, but do not recall for certain, that each law went into effect
on the ensuing 1 July.

(Here: insert Ides of March joke.)

Dear Listers,

Could one of you wonderful historians or legal beagles give me the date
when women became eligible  to serve on juries in VA?

Thanks - Judith Bailey Gabor
