Vital for New York Practice April 6, 1999
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
David Siegel's New York Practice is considered the bible for legal practitioners in the Empire State. The book follows the CPLR generally, pulls in appropriate court-made rules and references important procedural provisions of the Court Acts. It is written in a practical and conversational style infrequently encountered in legal writing. The authoritativeness of the book, despite its readability, is reflected in the numerous cites to the text in the opinions of the courts of New York, and beyond. As a law clerk, I refer to the book often.
New York Practice July 25, 2010
Jose E. Bezares
I am only part-way through this 1100+ page book, but it appears to be providing me with all I need to move forward with one or more legal actions pro se. It had been recommended to me by the full-time pro se attorney for a local five-county region, and he was spot on. I highly recommend it to anyone wishing to have greater knowledge of the law as practiced in New York.

Very useful as fundamental overview or refresher of NYS practice protocols with due emphasis on the prevalence and application of the CPLR in civil litigation, as well as how that omnibus statute is adjusted by or supersedes case law. Siegel is clear for the most part (though the syntax can be eccentric at times - his publications have their own style as readers of the NYS Law Digest know) and focuses on actual case prosecution in the court system, particularly in NYS's four leading judicial departments (1-4, of course). Consider carefully whether the sections omitted from the student handbook make the practitioner's volume a better choice.
 Excellent resource July 5, 2007

As a student, the NY Practice (Hornbook) is an easy reference guide in my current studies. I would recommend this book to all students.
