Protections in the New York State Constitution Beyond the Federal Bill of Rights

Scott Fein, partner, and Claiborne Walthall, associate, attorneys at Whiteman Osterman & Hanna, contributed and edited the recent publication entitled:  Protections in the New York State Constitution Beyond the Federal Bill of Rights.  The New York State Constitution protects individual rights in many ways the U.S. Constitution does not. This publication illustrates some of the ways in which certain rights are more expansively protected – while other rights are recognized in the state constitution that the federal constitution does not recognize at all.  To view the publication, please click here.
