What we do
Public law libraries are important because everyone has a right to know the law.
We were established in 1891 by the State of California to provide legal
information not only to attorneys and judges, but to businesses,
self-represented litigants, and people like you who want to know more about
their rights. The law library has 4 locations around the county (Chula Vista,
Downtown San Diego, El Cajon, Vista), and we have expert researchers here
to help you find what you need 6 days a week. - See more at:

Why is the law library relevant to San Diego?
112713
We make it possible [but not easy] for the general public to learn about and use
the law to solve problems, access justice and leverage opportunities...
How do we support the legal community?
We serve as a satellite office where attorneys can conduct free legal research,
have a quiet space to work, meet with clients in private conference rooms, hold
meetings and attend free and low-cost educational programs.
Judges and court personnel can refer self-represented litigants to us, where
those individuals can access legal forms, guides and legal resources written for
non-attorneys.
The legal community has a professional duty to provide pro bono legal services
and promote access to justice. Why not support the law library by volunteering
for a legal clinic?
How do we support local businesses?
The law library is a place for businesses to learn about and use the law to
address business issues and take advantage of market opportunities.
Businesses can find answers to common legal questions and access
easy-to-understand guides.
We are a networking and educational center where businesses can meet with
clients, prospects and colleagues in private conference rooms.
How do we support the general public:
Through print and electronic legal resources, educational programs, legal clinics
and the help of experienced legal research librarians, we support the entire
community. If the value and importance is not immediately clear, consider the
different types of people we help:
The mother, father, or grandparent fighting for custody of a child
A recently laid off employee who is unsure whether she should sign a
severance agreement
A single mother who was defrauded by a contractor and wants to take him to
small claims court
The family facing foreclosure or eviction
The entrepreneur that wants to start a business
The small business owner who just received notice of an IRS audit
The inventor who wants to patent a new product and protect her intellectual
property rights

Today I visited the law library website to discover whether the San Diego Public
Law Library still gives classes in how to file a lawsuit. The law library used to
have displays from which you could take a flyer telling you about the classes that
were offered. I took a couple of well-attended classes, and got a good
introduction to the law. Thanks to those classes, I've been able to fend off a
hostile, out-of-control judge and a large law firm trying to shut down my website.

Clearly, the mission of the San Diego Public Law Library has changed dramatically
along with its appearance. Lots of money was spent to change the place from a
brightly lit place of easily accessible books and information.
The people at the information desk used to be brilliant and helpful. I once went in
for information about sanctions. The woman at the information desk immediately
took me back to a shelf in the stacks and pulled out a volume. "This is the best
book I ever came across," she said. And she was right. Pertinent information
flowed from that book as if a spigot had been attached.
After the library went through its dramatic change, the new guy sitting at the main
information desk couldn't even find a book about contempt sanctions for me by
searching the computerized catalog.

But the Bar Association of San Diego clearly doesn't like the fact that I and others
have been able to assert our rights against Bar members who want the law to be
a closed club.
I'm sure I would have been treated much differently yesterday if I had been
wearing my suit and stockings instead of jeans.

I'm sure I would have been treated much differently yesterday if I had been
wearing my suit and stockings instead of jeans.
Here's what I found on the law library website:
Finally I found a menu item called "Request a class" under
the "calendar" link at the top of the home page. This link took me to a list of classes
that are clearly for attorneys, not ordinary people who just got sued by an attorney,
or who have been illegally harmed and need to file a suit.
These classes are not free, with exceptions like "Job hunting in the legal arena",
obviously for legal professionals, not the general public. The classes seem to be
mostly for lawyers to keep their licenses current.
The most frequently repeated class seems to be "Personal Finance for
attorneys; Three Steps to Wealth & Financial Security ".
There also seems to be a plethora of classes aimed at helped substance-abusing
attorneys. Meanwhile, the security guard keeps addicts who are trying to keep
themselves out of jail from finding help at the law library.
You will notice that these lawyers absolutely LOVE to toss around the word "ethics".
Here's the list of classes I found:

My email sent on
the "Request a
class" page of the
Public Law Library
website on Nov.
27, 2013:
I suggest bringing back the
introductory classes for
members of the public.
Bring back all the classes
that used to be offered
before local lawyers
decided to turn the
PUBLIC law library into a
private club. There were
classes about filing
lawsuits, conducting
lawsuits, appealing
decisions.
It seems that local lawyers
(and judges) want to make
sure that ordinary people
are prevented from
representing themselves in
state and federal courts.
A few years ago I took
classes at the law library
that made it possible for
me to defend my
constitutional rights
against a large law firm
that wanted to shut down
my website.
I won in the Court of
Appeal in 2011, and I
recently filed another
appeal. [Here's the Leagle
web page with the
decision.]
It appears that the the San
Diego Bar Association
wants its members to be
able to shut down websites
critical of San Diego
lawyers, and has
influenced the Public Law
Library to help in this
goal. It is improper to
sabotage and undermine
the longstanding purpose
of the Public Law Library.
Please straighten up and
fly right.
[As of December 16, 2013
I have had no response to
my email.]

I seem to unintentionally have done
something similar to this:

man to expose congregation's lack
of compassion

29 Nov 2013
Members of a Mormon
congregation in the U.S.
encountered someone they thought
was a homeless man at church on
Sunday. What they did not know
was the man was a bishop for The
Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints.
At least five people asked David
Musselman to leave the church
property in the Salt Lake City
suburb, some gave him money and
most were indifferent.
He said he disguised himself as a
homeless man to teach his
congregation a lesson about
compassion. He even asked a
makeup artist to transform his face
to that of a stranger not even his
family recognized.
"The main thing I was trying to get
across was, we don't need to be so
quick to judge," Musselman told
KUTV-TV.
"Many actually went out of their way
to purposefully ignore me, and they
wouldn't even make eye contact,"
he told the Deseret News. "I'd
approach them and say, 'Happy
Thanksgiving.'"

Musselman walked to the pulpit
during the service and revealed his
identity, taking off his wig, fake
beard and glasses.
"It had a shock value that I did not
anticipate," he said. "I really did not
have any idea that the members of
my ward would gasp as big as they
did."
Ward member Jaimi Larsen was
among those surprised. "I started
feeling ashamed because I didn't
say hello to this man ... He was
dirty. He was crippled. He was old.
He was mumbling to himself," she
said.
It wasn't Musselman's goal to
embarrass ward members or make
them feel ashamed, he said.
Instead, he wanted to remind them
to be kind to people from all walks
of life, not just at the holidays, but
all year long.

Law Made Public: our
promise & our mission

Welcome to the Law
Library’s web page —
everyone’s gateway to the
law in San Diego County!
California’s county law
libraries have been
providing the public with
free access to legal
resources since 1891.
There are 58 county law
libraries. Like them, we
are funded by collecting a
portion of the fees paid to
the Superior Court when
someone files a civil case.
The resources and
operations of county law
libraries varies with each
county. However the
mission of county law
libraries remains the same
throughout California: to
provide everyone with free
access to legal materials.
This is how we bring the
law to the public.
Every county law library is
governed by an
appointed, volunteer
Board of Trustees that
has complete oversight
and authority. The San
Diego County Board of
Trustees has 5 Superior
Court judges and 4 San
Diego County attorneys to
do its work, more than any
other law library in the
state. The director of
libraries plans policy,
strategy, and Law Library
programming to help
guide the Board in its
decision-making and move
the library forward. The
Law Library staff operates
4 branches around the
County to provide
outstanding service to
anyone seeking legal
information.
More than that, the Law
Library functions as a
community gathering
space for learning,
meetings, and
collaborative
programming. In our
spacious downtown
building, we have
transformed the look and
culture of the Law Library
experience. We proudly
try to make the legal world
just a bit less scary for
people seeking to know
more about their legal
rights. We serve as
translators of the law so
that you get what you
need to succeed in your
legal claims. We
encourage you to claim
your right to know the law
and use it to full
advantage by visiting the
branch closest to you.
As a public institution on a
fixed income, we welcome
support of all kinds to help
us sustain our service
mission. Donations of
money and time are
appreciated, as well as
your ideas. What more
could you ask for in a
public law library? If you
have an idea, please
contact us at
ideas@sdlawlibrary.org

It is really a very nice, law
library when citizens from
our community, and the
ones who are in the legal
field, lawyers, criminal
lawyers assistants, legal
aids,and otherwise. A very
cool place when the legal
resources, specially for
the ones, who can not
afford legal
representation, can use
this awasome, justice
center.

...How is the Library supported?
Our book and computer budget, personnel budget, and operating budget are
supported by the Law Library Trust Fund, which derives income primarily from a
portion of civil court filing fees and from funds that the library itself generates. Our
Board of Trustees administers that fund.
The building, building maintenance, custodial service, and
telecommunications are provided by the County of San Diego
from its General Fund, which is supported by tax dollars. We
urge you to write local representatives and let them know the importance of the Law
Library and our services. Locate your state and local representatives and tell them
how much the Law Library means to you!
Do you really provide free public access to Lexis, WestLaw & CEB Onlaw?
Yes, and more! We provide free access to several databases, including Lexis,
Westlaw Classic, Westlaw Next, CEB Onlaw, HeinOnline, LegalTrac, Nolo Press, and
much more. See Legal Databases for a full list and database descriptions...
Where can I learn how to do my own legal research?
See Research a Legal Issue for information on legal research
classes, free legal websites, court forms, motion guides, and
the online self-help center. The American Association of Law
Libraries also has useful information, as does the Southern
California Association of Law Libraries.

I strongly urge you to bring back
the introductory legal classes for
members of the public that were
offered before the recent re-purposing of the San Diego
Public Law Library.
Previously there were many classes giving an overview of the legal system and
teaching citizens how to conduct lawsuits and appeal decisions.
A few years ago I took those classes, making it possible for me to defend my
constitutional rights against a large law firm that wanted to shut down my public
interest website. I won in the Court of Appeal in 2011, and I recently filed another
appeal. [Here's the Leagle web page with the earlier decision.]
I suspect that the legal establishment in San Diego wants to limit poor litigants to
those who have been chosen for pro-bono representation. Certainly the legal
clinics offered by USD law students do not fill the void created by the canceled
classes. It seems that local lawyers (and judges) want to make sure that people
like me (who critique the local justice system) are prevented from protecting
themselves in state and federal courts.
It appears that the the San Diego Bar Association has influenced the Public Law
Library to help in this goal.
It is improper to sabotage and undermine the longstanding purpose of the Public
Law Library. Please return the library to its former purpose of educating the
public as well as educating attorneys.
Sincerely,
Maura Larkins
