SUNY Press has announced a new series, Studies in New York Law, edited by Albert M. Rosenblatt. Studies in New York Law is expected to highlight key legal issues and cases that have shaped New York (and the nation’s) history. Combining legal analysis with a focus on specific cases or events, books in the series will address the theoretical and practical applications of New York law as it has evolved over time.
The series will address diverse issues in New York’s legal history, including racial and sexual equality, worker’s rights, health and safety, consumer protection, and equal application of the law.
Books in the series will appeal to academics, legal historians, and New York State historians, as well as general readers interested how law has impacted the social cultural life of the state and country.
Albert M. Rosenblatt teaches at the New York University School of Law and is a retired Judge of New York State Court of Appeals. His books include The Eight: The Lemmon Slave Case and the Fight for Freedom (2023); Opening Statements: Law, Jurisprudence, and the Legacy of Dutch New York (2013, coedited with Julia C. Rosenblatt) and Judith S. Kaye in Her Own Words: Reflections on Life and the Law, with Selected Judicial Opinions and Articles (2019, coedited with Henry M. Greenberg, Luisa M. Kaye, and Marilyn Marcus), all published by SUNY Press
