Each month at local public libraries in the First Judicial Circuit, volunteer attorneys are
working to help self-represented litigants through the Lawyer in the Library program.

With eight
locations across the Southern Illinois region, free legal advice is available nearby.
The Lawyer in the Library program provides patrons needing help with a legal issue the
opportunity to sit down with an attorney for a private, one-on-one, approximately 20-minute
session, to receive advice or help with legal documents. There is no fee but pre-registration is
required at most locations. On the date of your session, check in at the library registration desk
and bring paperwork pertaining to your legal question or situation, if applicable. This program
may be limited to one visit per patron.
