If you want learn how to use the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (the "FOIA"), Va. Code §§ 2.1-340 et seq., to get public records from the City of Richmond, you can do it the hard way (as I did), or you can go to school on my mistakes.

Here is some of the fruit of those mistakes

• A short exegesis on the Act
• A Sample Request that touches on many of the important issues
• An Annotated Copy of the Act as it relates to public records
• Links to helpful web sites.
  
• A recent use of the Act to deal with the City's failure to send a property tax bill.
