Welcome to the DuPage County Law Library

A law library is the laboratory of the legal profession. It is an organized collection of materials that helps users locate and understand legal authority. Today's rapid growth of legal information arising from litigation, statutes and regulations, increases the complexity of legal research. The law library can be an invaluable asset for keeping current in a changing legal landscape.

Mission

The mission of the DuPage County Law Library is to provide legal information services to all licensed attorneys, judges, as well as members of the public. Our goal is to provide our patrons with accurate up-to-date legal information. To achieve this goal we are committed to tailoring the law library's collection to meet the needs of the legal community. The library currently maintains a core print collection of 26,000 volumes.
