Judicial Law Libraries



Welcome to the Judicial Law Libraries of the State of Delaware.

We have been serving the Delaware Judiciary Since 1911.

The primary purpose of the law library is to provide comprehensive and responsive legal research and information assistance to the Delaware Judiciary by providing the optimum balance of current technology, legal tools, and information training. The law libraries also lend assistance to surrounding state agencies and members of the legal community. Additionally, the libraries provide support to the general public, legal scholars, and those representing themselves in the Delaware Court system.
