Public Law Libraries
Public law libraries are great resources for self-represented litigants, with access to current statutes, codes, rules and case law. Many law libraries also offer access to premium legal research applications like Westlaw and Lexis. Most law libraries also offer practice guides that attorneys often reach for when starting a research project. Law libraries are usually staffed with helpful and knowledgeable staff who can't provide legal advice, but can point you in the right direction.Jurisdiction: Amador
