Legal forms

If you missed the reference meeting when it was mentioned, take some time to look at the Delaware County Law Library site. Warning - almost impossible to find without knowing the address! It includes a link to forms that patrons can download and use in situations where they are acting as their own lawyer. Remember that we cannot provide legal information; but there are links on the site to resources where patron can get legal advice.
