Legal Research

Springfield Public Library

Library staff is happy to help guide your search for legal resources, but we are limited in the type of assistance we can give regarding legal matters:<

It is against state law for library staff members to engage in any conduct that might constitute the unauthorized practice of law; we may not interpret statutes, cases or regulations, perform legal research, recommend or assist in the preparation of forms, or advise patrons regarding their legal rights.

This page contains information and resources to help get you started. Please feel free to contact us if you have questions or need further assistance.
