The legal affairs department monitors legal developments affecting the business interests and First Amendment rights of NAA’s membership. Working with the Legal Affairs Committee, the department coordinates joint industry responses and advocates on behalf of member companies through amicus (friend-of-the court) briefs and regulatory filings before the courts and administrative agencies. It also prepares background papers on various legal issues; develops business guidance on compliance issues; provides digests of newspapers cases addressing specific topics; maintains a Web-based database of newspaper labor arbitrations and collective bargaining agreements for members only; and provides online networking opportunities for in-house counsel and employee relations executives at member companies to share information about legal developments and best practices affecting their operations.
