Since 1981 our law librarians have helped thousands of residents in Dougherty County and beyond find legal information. We can help you research legal questions, refer you to services, and direct you to websites and books.
For those representing themselves in Dougherty County and surrounding county civil courts, the Law Library's Self-Help Center can provide forms and information. In addition, we teach a family law class to help prepare people bring their family law cases.
