Lawyers in the Library

The Lawyers in the Library program is currently on hold. In the meantime see CLASP (Community Legal Assistance Saturday Program), our list of various legal aid organizations, the Bay Area Legal Incubator, and the Alameda County Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service, which can refer people to various legal clinics and attorneys.

The Lawyers in the Library program is a free information and referral program staffed by volunteer lawyers, coordinated by Legal Access Alameda and participating local public libraries.  In a one-on-one phone appointment, lawyers can answer questions on most legal topics. If legal help is required, people are referred to other agencies. The Lawyers in the Library program supports Legal Access’ vision of equal access to justice in Alameda County.

The different libraries have different Lawyers in the Library hours and programs available, such as speaking with tax attorneys and a Property Transfer Clinic. Visit their Lawyers in the Library webpages below for more information and to schedule an appointment online:
