Washington State Law Library

The Washington State Law Library's mission is to promote reliable access to legal information and provide expert legal reference assistance.

The State Law Library welcomes the opportunity to assist you in your legal research.

Services Available in Person at our Tumwater Location

Law Library services are available in person at our temporary Tumwater location from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Patrons are welcome to read legal materials in our Research Room at our two study desks, or using the research computer. Books are kept behind our reference desk and will be retrieved on request. We are happy to help make the most of your visit by pulling books ahead of time or reserving the research computer. Curbside service hours are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Learn more about accessing library services on our Plan Your Visit page.

Library closures and service updates will be posted on our social media pages at Facebook and LinkedIn.

Nutshells added to our eBooks library!

The library has recently added Nutshell books to the eBook library. Nutshells are small books that provide a plain language overview of a legal topic. Registered patrons can read the Nutshells, the Washington State Bar Association deskbooks, and other Lexis titles through the LexisNexis Digital Library eBook Collection. Instructions for accessing eBooks can be found in our blog post. Register for an account or recover your existing user name or password here.
