The Alameda County Law Library is a public Law Library. Skilled reference librarians are available to help everyone from attorneys looking for ways to best serve their clients to non-lawyers seeking to represent themselves or educate themselves about the legal system. The Alameda County Law Library is a 501(c)(3) organization and a local agency established under (California Business and Professions Code Secs §6300-6365.) Over 90% of its income comes from a portion of civil filing fees. Since 2009, that income has fallen over 40% while the cost of legal materials has increased 60%. The Mission of the Bernard E. Witkin Alameda County Law Library is to provide access to current legal information to the public, attorneys and residents. From within the library there is free access to these legal research databases: CEB OnLaw, DissoMaster, Fastcase, HeinOnline (law reviews), LEXIS, Shepard's, and Westlaw. Nolo (EBSCO Legal Information Center) is the only database available for free from outside the library. MCLEs, events and art exhibits are held in the library. Conference and meeting rooms may be reserved for use by judges, members of the bar, and pro per litigants for court-related activities as well as business people and business organizations for business-related activities for a reasonable fee.
