What is a Law Library?

A county Law Library is a public library for legal information. Anyone can visit, and you don't need to be a lawyer. Each one is a little different, but they share one goal: to help people find and understand the law.

How a Law Librarian helps you

  • Explains what each planning document does

  • Finds trusted guides and forms for you

  • Helps you understand self-help materials

  • Helps you write down questions for the lawyer

  • Explains final steps, like signing, witnesses, notaries and storing your documents

Law Librarians share legal information, but they can't give legal advice or tell you which choice to make. For advice about your situation, you'll meet with a lawyer for free.
