Can law students or paralegal students use the library?

Absolutely. All students are welcome to use the library's resources and spaces. While we support professional study, textbooks and course-specific materials are best accessed through your school's library or bookstore.

Can you help me find a legal form or fill one out?

We can guide you to reliable form books, websites and indexes where you can search for the right forms for your legal matter.
However, we cannot:

• Fill out your forms
• Interpret or explain legal meanings

Our mission is to provide access to legal information--not legal advice.
