Telephone research and reference service

Experienced professional law librarians will help you find the answers and materials you need. They will telephone or send information to you. E-mail inquiries to: library@lasc.org. We do not send material via email.

Legal information materials
Any published materials in the collection can be sent to you via fax, email or postal mail. Costs are 50 cents per page (photocopies) plus postage and $1.25 per page (fax/email). Photocopies are mailed only to individuals outside of the New Orleans metropolitan area. There is a $5 minimum charge.
