Join the Library

Why Join?

The cost of legal research materials continues to skyrocket and your firm needs to be more selective in what it keeps.  We have historic copies of statutes and session laws that most firms don't have space to keep.  We have a treatise collection that spans many substantive areas, often with more than one treatise in any given area, providing a level of depth most firm's can't maintain. 

In addition, Library services can be accessed remotely, so you can take advantage of your membership without having to visit the Library.

Membership Categories

The Law Library Association membership is comprised of individuals and firms - including lawyers, doctors, accountants, and others - who wish to gain access to legal materials far more extensive than are affordable in any single firm.

What is the Difference:  Individual v. Firm Membership?

There are three membership categories, solo, individual, and firm.  A solo practitioner may become a member and get full access to all Library resources and services.  An individual attorney in a firm may become a member with access to all on-site library resources and services but not remote access.   A firm membership entitles every employee of the firm - lawyers, paralegals, administrators - to use the Library and its resources, including remote access.  Discounts are given to firms with more than 14 attorneys, and the increased cost of membership is offset by substantial savings in using the Library as a complement to your firm's existing library.

Firm membership (including solos) enables members to get additional benefits beyond those available to the individual member working at a firm.  Compare for yourself the difference between an individual and firm membership.

Membership Year

We begin our membership on January 1 each year.  Current members are billed at the end of the prior year for dues.  Any member who has not renewed their membership by March 1 is suspended.  New individual and firm members pay a pro-rated membership fee, depending on when they join the Association: 100% until March 1, 75% until June 1, and 50% for the rest of the year.  Membership is open to the public.

Annual dues schedule

Non-Member Access

If you wish to try out the Library and its services without becoming a member, you are welcome to visit us Monday through Friday, between 8am and 4pm.  The Library is open to the public, who may access all print legal research materials in the Library.
