The Judge Donald E. Wieand Law Library provides a comprehensive collection of online and print legal resources. The Law Library is open to the public and is located in the Historic Lehigh County Courthouse located at 501 West Hamilton Street, Allentown Pa 18101

Law Library staff will provide directional reference assistance and basic instruction in the use of online legal databases to patrons unfamiliar with legal research. However, library staff cannot offer patrons any kind of legal opinion, legal aid, or legal advice. It is unauthorized practice of law for staff to explain legal materials, to offer advice on how the law might apply to their situation, or to offer instruction on how to proceed.

Library staff may locate resources about the topic requested by a patron, and guidance may be given in how to use the books or computer. Once the appropriate topic is located, it is the responsibility of the patron to read, interpret and apply the material. If the patron desires more assistance than library staff is able to provide, he/she is advised to hire an attorney.

Public Access versions of Westlaw and Lexis are available in the Law Library.
