New Jersey Practice v. 49 and 50
Did you notice 2 brand new New Jersey Practice volumes 49 and 50?
Titled New Jersey Business Law Deskbook 2007, $188, they are 2 softcover volumes that appear to be annuals. I do not recall a predecessor to this- they were a surprise to me.
The authors are Olson, Pappa and Goodman. The deskbook includes “guidance on virtually every aspect of business law.”
The New Jersey Practice is expanding with softcover volumes…..[lr]
New Jersey Administrative Code starts to grow
The New Jersey Administrative Code is expanding. With the addition of another volume for Title 5 Community Affairs, more shelf space is needed.
While we are at it, we need to plan for Title 7,8,10,11 and 13 expansions as well. That’s 5 more binders at least, according to the April 16th notice.
Two new window cards for Title 5 came with the April 2nd Supplement. They are missing in a lot of places because they came prior to the binder.
Hey, Lexis! We pay for the NJAC by annual subscription. How is it you are charging us $20 for a new binder? Isn’t that part of our subscription? In anticipation of additional binders this year, I protest! [lr]
