The Judge Donald E. Wieand Law Library serves the population of Lehigh County by providing access to a comprehensive collection of online and print legal resources. The Law Library is open to the public, and is located on the 8th floor of the Lehigh County Courthouse.
Law Library staff will provide directional reference assistance to patrons unfamiliar with legal research. However, library staff cannot offer patrons any kind of legal opinion, legal aid, instruction or legal advice. Library patrons may not realize it is unlawful for the Law Library Staff to help patrons interpret legal materials, or to offer advice on how the law might apply to their situation. This includes instructions on how to proceed in specific matters. That kind of service would constitute the unauthorized practice of law.
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 the library staff is able to provide, he/she is advised to obtain legal counsel.
