I am not currently faculty, staff or a student of Harvard or the Harvard Library. Can the reference librarians help me with my legal question?

The Harvard Law School Library is not a public law library. Our priority is serving the Harvard Law School and Harvard Library community. We recommend contacting a local public library near you.
During busy times of the semester, we are not able to provide help to unaffiliated patrons.
At other times of the year, if time allows, we may be able to provide limited basic legal reference help to people outside of the Harvard community
By phone, text or email:
We can:
Direct you to research guides and online sources for your research
Help with requests that require use of materials exclusively held by the Harvard Law School Library
Refer you to public law libraries and legal services who may be better able to meet your needs
We can’t:
Do legal research for you
Advise you on how to handle a legal situation or interpret the law for you
Tell you which laws or cases are applicable to your case
Read definitions, cases, statutes or other sources to you over the phone
Help you fill out forms
Print or send documents from our databases to anyone outside of the current Harvard Law School community
Scan or photocopy print sources for individuals - please all scan/copy requests to your local public or academic library's interlibrary loan department
