Hi Neil,
Thanks for the reply.
I got the symbology of the layer with the renderer already. What I need imported from the existing layer to the new one is the formatting style of the way the patch and text (size, font, placement, orientation, etc.) looks in the legend that is inserted in Layout View not just the symbology in the TOC and the legend's patch color. I want to programatically set these properties to be the same as another layer's when my new layer is added; the same way they can be set manually in Legend Properties > "Style..." > Legend Item Selector.

Sorry I wasn't more specific in my initial post.
Thanks for the support,
Robbie
