About Us | New York Legal Publishing

New York Legal Publishing Corporation has been the trusted source for New York State and City legal references for over 130 years. What began with the first edition of The New York Red Book in 1892 has grown into a comprehensive library of legal codes, regulations, and reference materials used by attorneys, courts, government agencies, and building professionals across the state.

We remain a family-owned business, headquartered in Menands, New York, just outside the state capital. Our proximity to Albany keeps us connected to the legislative and regulatory processes that drive the content we publish.

Our mission is straightforward: provide legal professionals with accurate, thoroughly annotated, and continuously updated references that help them do their work with confidence. We take scattered and hard-to-find legal texts and transform them into organized, searchable, and annotated publications that save time and reduce risk.
