Finding County Law Libraries in Washington

County law libraries in Washington State were established in 1919 by RCW 27.24 to provide access to legal information to the courts and the bar, and also to the public in counties which have the staff available to assist the public. It is our collective mission to provide the best possible service to our communities, by connecting people to the information they need to effectively participate in the justice system. We do this by maximizing available resources through our in-house collections of legal materials in print and in CD-ROM, through resource sharing with other libraries, through Internet resources, and through referral to other agencies as needed. We strive to serve as a community access point for legal information.

You can find all 39 county law libraries in Washington with a helpful Google Map of all the law libraries here.
