Statement of Preferred Practice 

The "Statement of Preferred Practice for Legal Publishers" is a voluntary code of practice for legal publishers doing business with librarians and other consumers of legal information.

The statement is intended to:

• describe standards of good practice and service;
• promote open communication and disclosure;
• encourage publishers to develop effective dispute resolution processes; and
• foster constructive relationships between publishers and their customers.

The ALLA urges legal publishers to comply with the statement and to implement internal procedures and infrastructure to support compliance.
