About the Friends of Los Angeles County Law Library

Supported by the private sector, Friends of the Los Angeles County Law Library is dedicated to raising funds for the LA Law Library. Established in 1891, the LA Law Library is a vital civic institution that serves not only judges, attorneys, and government officials but also individuals and self-represented litigants. Friends’ activities raise the visibility of the Law Library  and provide a needed, additional base of financial support. Proceeds from past events are used to expand access, upgrade technology, digitize appellate briefs, and provide services to the self-represented. Our support has also assisted with the expansion of partnerships with public libraries and support for pro bono week activities including the public legal services fair.
