Alameda County Law Library

The Mission of the Bernard E. Witkin Alameda County Law Library is to provide access to current legal information to the public, attorneys and residents.

In May 2014 the Law Library began coordinating the Lawyers in the Library program formerly coordinated by the Alameda County Bar Association.

The Alameda County Law Library is a public Law Library. The Library envisions a future in which all people have effective access to justice. To bring about this vision, it provides access to information required for participation in the legal system, resolving legal disputes, engaging in commerce, and tending to personal affairs and academic projects.

The Law Library is open to all - individuals handling their own legal matters and lawyers. The Law libraryprovides access to premium online legal databases and books that explain and reprint the laws.

The Law Library holds workshops and education programs for members of the public and lawyers.
