The New York State Bar Association first published the Legal Handbook for New York State Journalists in 1986. The book has been widely praised by both journalists and lawyers for its straight-forward, easy-to-understand treatment of legal topics. It is designed specifically for the use of busy New York state journalists, but it has also been adopted as a class text for news writing, reporting, and editing classes in New York state colleges and universities.
