Self-Help Resource Guide Now Available

By Carey Sias •  June 4, 2014

Legal research can be very difficult, even for someone who knows the law. The links and resources in our new Self-Help Resource Guide are intended to help non-attorneys get started with legal research.

Jenkins Law Library is open to the public for a fee of $5 per day. A reference librarian is available to assist with the collection and databases, but cannot advise patrons on legal matters. Find this and all our resource guides at https://www.jenkinslaw.org/research/resource-guides.
