In more than 400 circumstances, actions by state or local government, private companies, institutions or individuals require the publication of a Legal Advertisement.

The basic state law covering Legal Advertisements is found in Chapter 59, Article 3 of the Code of West Virginia.

Requirements for publication of a specific Legal Advertisement usually are found in the statutes governing a particular action, circumstance or governmental agency.

General terms, rates and rulesn Only daily or weekly newspapers

which meet the requirements set forth in Chapter 59, Article 3 are “qualified” to publish Legal Advertisements under the scope of the Code. Advertisers are advised to make sure a newspaper is “qualified” before placing required legal advertisements in that publication.

n A “writ of mandamus” procedure is set forth in Chapter 59, Article 3 in which governmental agencies and others can be compelled by court order to publish a required Legal Advertisement which has not been published.

n Rates which qualified newspapers may charge for Legal Advertisements are set by the state Legislature. These rates are based on the paid circulation

of the qualified newspapers.

Rates in effect on Jan. 1, 2009:

n 7¢ per word for newspapers with a circulation 1,000 or less.

n 11.5¢ per word, circulation 1,001 to 5,000.

n 12¢ per word, circulation 5,001 to 9,999.

n 13¢ per word, circulation 10,000 to 29,999.

n 14¢ per word, circulation 30,000 or more.

Legals published more than one

time are charged on the basis of 100% for first publication and 75% for each subsequent publication.

n The “Class” type of a Legal Advertisement determines how many successive weeks the ad must run – Class I, one week; Class II, two weeks; and so on.

n Legal advertisement may be published in a qualified newspaper published on any day of the week except Sunday.

n In almost all cases the laws requiring publication of a particular Legal Advertisement specify the “publication area.” This means that the ad must first be offered for publication to a qualified newspaper published in the publication area, and can only be placed in a newspaper outside the publication area if no newspaper in the area will accept the ad.

n Counting words: The law specifies that Legal Advertisements containing white space are to be charged for as if they were “set solid” in type. Most newspapers, therefore, determine the number of words to the inch of type-set Legal Advertisements and convert the total space used to words, for purposes of charging for legals.

Legal advertisements also are posted on the Internet at: www.wvlegals.com

Legal Advertising in West Virginia

DeadlinesLegal Ads, particularly longer ones, require additional time for typesetting and proofread-ing. Typical deadlines are at least one week prior to FIRST publication. Check with your local newspaper well in ad-vance of scheduled publica-tion to make arrangements.

Through www.wvlegals.com, The West Virginia Press Association, with the cooperation of its member newspapers, provides access to online copies of the public notices and legal advertisements published in West Virginia newspapers. This service is provided to enhance the value and increase the access of public notices and legal advertisements published in West Virginia newspapers.

It’s the WVPA’s goal to offer online access as a complement to printed newspaper publication of all public notices and legal advertisements in the state. West Virginia is a state where the great majority of residents count on West Virginia newspapers for timely and easy access to legal advertisements and public notices.

By providing online access, West Virginia newspapers increase the public value of their legal advertising for both the advertising body and the state residents with the greatest possible exposure and best results for legal advertisements and public notices.

Have questions about www.wvlegals.com? Trouble getting your legals onto the site?Call Don Smith at 304-342-1011.

Attorney Carte Goodwin provides participating newspapers with perhaps the greatest member service offered by the WVPA. Participation helps your editorial or advertising staff avoid damaging and costly mistakes before they show up in print or online.

Allowing your staff to call the WVPA Legal Lawyer Hotline before publication might keep your publisher from calling your company attorney after publication. The Legal Lawyer Hotline provides pre-publication review of complicated news copy and advertising content issues. The Hotline also provides advice on access to public records and open meeting laws.

Join the WVPA Legal Lawyer Hotline Program (the � page of advertising fee is deducted from your WVPA placement) and save your newspaper future court time and legal expenses. First, contact Don Smith, 304-342-1011, for information on the program.
