Role of the Law Library
The Harford County Law Library originated in the Eighteenth Century as a subscription based “Bar Library” by and for local Judges and Lawyers.
Today, the Law Library is fully open to the public. The primary role of the Law Library is to provide services not only to judges and attorneys, but to provide legal information and information services to paralegals, students, government officials, and other and citizens who reside in Harford County.
The Law Library recognizes the central importance of knowledge and information to not only the practice of law, but also the need to provide access for county residents to the laws that affect them and, and to assist the public at large in locating materials held in the collection.
