Legal Resources for Students

PDF Print E-mail
If you ever need any legal assistance, check out these legal resources available for students:

  • Your school's Ombudsman Office
    The ombudsman office handles university complaints by students, staff, and faculty. The office often serves as a liaison between the two conflicting parties and tries to resolve any conflict through mediation.

  • Your school's Law Library
    Universities have some of the largest collection of books and resources available. Law libraries have huge amounts of legal resources. The trick is to know what you're looking for. Usually a librarian can assist you in finding any information you need.

  • Library of Congress
    The law library of congress website contains huge amounts of information as well as links to related sites.

  • Law clubs
    Usually your school's law club can provide some basic legal assistance to fellow students

  • Google Answers
    Although it may cost you money, Google provides a question and answers service that is maintained by qualified researchers.
    edit: Google Answers is no longer available

  • New York Public Library
    Although New York Public Library researchers can not necessarily provide legal advice, they provide a good reference. Every day, except Sundays and holidays, between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. EST, anyone, of any age, from anywhere can telephone (212) 340-0849 and ask almost any question. Great if you are on the run or just need some general questions answered.

  • Online Legal Glossary - A useful online legal glossary provided by the state of New York

  • Use free legal resources to find the info you need for free. Something that is a godsend for the typical broke college student.
