Legal Resources


Legal Resources Page

This subject guide highlights trusted resources for legal research, self-help forms, and local law services. Use these websites and organizations to explore Pennsylvania statutes, court forms, attorney referral services, and additional legal guidance for Monroe County residents.

Library staff can assist with finding legal information and resources, but only licensed attorneys can provide legal advice. While the public library carries some legal materials, most in-depth resources are available at the Monroe County Courthouse Law Library/Self-Help at 610 Monroe Street, Stroudsburg, PA 18360.
