Content
The newspaper, like most other similar papers in China, also produces two neican editions (internal reference editions); one version is often sent to officials nationwide to keep them up-to-date on legal developments, and a more-restricted version is distributed more selectively to individual government officials who may be related to the topic at hand. Neican editions are produced whenever deemed necessary.{{cite journal |last1=Liebman |first1=Benjamin L. |author1-link=Benjamin L. Liebman |date=January 2005 |title=Watchdog or Demagogue?

Legal Daily generates revenue by publishing two market-oriented newspapers, one aimed at legal workers and the other for the general public, and a monthly magazine.
