 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 terminations of parental
rights, mortgage foreclosures, sheriff's sales and much, much more. Public
notices keep these events from happening secretly and without notification.
Further, a public notice published in the newspaper becomes a permanent
record.
As a service to the profession, the court, and the public, the Monroe
County Bar Association publishes the Monroe Legal Journal, the only authorized
legal periodical in Monroe county. For over 70 years, legal advertisements,
estate notices, corporation announcements, sheriff's sales, tax sales
and other public notices have been published in the journal for the benefit
of our subscribers. In addition, the argument list, the criminal
trial list, the Prothonotary’s report and a listing of miscellaneous
recorded documents are published weekly.
