Court clerks and law library staff are not attorneys and cannot answer specific questions regarding how your situation relates to the law or how your question can best be resolved. The law library provides patrons with the opportunity to access a full legal collection, perform legal research in a quiet environment and ask library staff for helpful research tips.

No. We are not attorneys and cannot give you legal advice, tell you what form is needed, what word to use in a form, interpret the law or interpret a legal document. When you go to court and/or have any contact with court and legal proceedings, you are solely responsible for understanding how to provide information required for motions, briefs, subpoenas, divorce papers, and other legal documents.  However, we have resources that may help you prepare your documents/forms.
