John J. McCann, former chair of the American Bar Association Business Law Section (1992–1993), passed away on March 13, 2024, but his work as a lawyer and leader of the Business Law Section (BLS) lives on. Most notably, McCann was instrumental in his leadership role in creating a new publication for the Business Law Section: Business Law Today (BLT).

A prime example of a “classic” is The Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Fifth Edition by Kenneth A. Adams.
