The August issue of NYPRR is dedicated to the memory of Steven C. Krane, General Counsel of Proskauer Rose, LLP. Steve served us all in many roles - as law clerk to Chief Judge Judith S. Kaye, as the youngest President of the New York State Bar Association, as Chairman of COSAC, which spearheaded the drive to adoption of the NY Rules of Professional Conduct, as adviser and mentor to many lawyers, as pre-eminent scholar and teacher of legal ethics, and as contributor to NYPRR.

Under his guidance, COSAC moved us from the last State to abandon the Code to joining the other states in observing the Rules of Professional Conduct. Although the NY Rules differ in some ways from the ABA Model Rules, they do adhere to the same numbering scheme and are easy to compare.

We publish the tributes of seven of Steve's closest associates. We also republish an article Steve wrote for us in 1998.

NYPRR INTRODUCES ARTICLES INDEX

Our readers have been asking for an index of our articles and assessment tests. Most of all, they have wanted the ability to download and print individual articles. Well, we have responded and our Index is now available.

The Index has been organized by year and month, and also by article author.

All CLE assessment tests are also available for downloading by month and year.

The articles have been recomposed individually in an attractive format and are available for distribution to organizers of CLE programs and seminars.
