LA Law Library

Even though I’m a paralegal student and intern, some tasks are still not easy for me to perform. This law library offer classes that helps people regarding different matters. Some classes are better than the others but overall, the classes are generally informative. Just don’texpect that because it’s a law library you’ll only see lawyers and people working on the legal field. All sorts of people from different walks of life comes in.

This library is great and is my most favorite place in LA. I believe that it is the largest law library in the country. They have a great collection of books in excellent condition. I especially find the John Adams quote «[A] government of laws, and not of men» that is etched on the right side wall when you first enter very inspiring. I enjoy the displays they do and change every so often in the large display case also located at the front immediately when you enter. I loved seeing Thomas Girardi as a kid and the court room sketches from famous California trials.
I have never had an issue with calling like other reviewers. Every time I’ve called there was always someone available to assist me and they got me what I needed right away. They also have a wonderful document service where they will retrieve almost any document/​information that you need from/​about any court jurisdiction – including international and send it to you. There is a fee for the service. There is an International Law section but I have never had an occasion to use it.
They have wonderful classes and workshops that are open to the public. The only complaint I have if any, would be that since they have started partnering with local libraries to provide these classes and workshops, the ones they hold now seem to be less frequent, and are not as good as before. I still love this place, though.
There is a small garage attached on the side of the building which is either $ 8.00 or $ 10.00. There is also street parking available if you arrive early mornings after rush hour parking restrictions lift.

I am currently a Paralegal Studies student, and my professor told me about classes that are held here to help with the curriculum and to earn extra credit.
It’s a really nice building, and very spacious and lots of tables to sit at and has rooms set aside for classes.
Parking is easy and accessible in the back of the building and the rate is $ 10.00, which is not too bad.
All in all, it’s a great tool to use in my new profession and I’ll be back again!
