Dear Students!

You will need to have a paper copy of the 2021 version of New York’s Civil Practice Law and Rules (the “CPLR”) in class starting Tuesday, October 5.  That’s not far away!  Please order it now.  This is the one I showed you, named in the syllabus:

• Civil Practice Law and Rules of the State of New York Plus Comprehensive Appendix of Related Statute (Looseleaf Law Publications, Inc., ISBN# 9780930137120): $59.95 at the City Tech Bookstore or the publisher’s website.

I have not seen a paper copy of this one but it looks like it will do the trick:

• Consolidated Laws of New York Civil Practice Law & Rules 2021 Edition by Jason Lee (ed.) (New York Government independent publisher, ISBN #979-8712577750), about $30 at alibris.com, about $35 at amazon.com.

This one is NOT ideal, because it is not current, but it is only two years old, so if necessary, it should be OK:

• New York State Civil Practice Law and Rules 2019 Edition by Evgenia Naumchenko (ed.) (New York Legislature independent publisher, ISBN # 9781097208609), available for $15-30 at alibris.com and sandmanbooks.com.

PLEASE order your book SOON!!  October 5 is not far away, and shipping can be slow!  When you order it, please let me know which one you get, preferably by posting here on OL (so your classmates see), or email me.  If several of you order one of the “non-bookstore” options, I may order it too!

If you can get a current paper copy of the CPLR from another source, like a friend or library, let me know and we’ll see if it can work.  Finally, if purchasing a book creates significant financial hardship, talk to me and we’ll figure something out.

THANK YOU!!
