The Lancaster Law Review is Lancaster County’s legal periodical of record.

State laws require the government and certain individuals to publish notices of some of their activities in local newspapers. These laws exist so that citizens are educated about governmental actions that could affect them. Through these notices, the public can find out about termination of parental rights, mortgage foreclosures, sheriff’s sales and much, much more. Public notices keep those events from happening secretly and without notification. Further, a public notice published in a newspaper becomes a permanent record.
