One of the things that distinguishes one attorney from another is a dedication to the art and academics of law. Writing scholarly articles on the law is one thing that attorneys do to help others learn about, benefit from and practice better law. When legal malpractice attorneys write academic articles, other attorneys read and try to make fewer mistakes.
Andrew Lavoott Bluestone has spent years writing about and practicing law in New York. He is an often published author and lecturer on legal malpractice issues, and has been engaged in writing about the law since 1986. Here is a list of his publications.
