More than information—tools to help you stay organized.
The Member Resource Center is for people who want a better system for learning about a legal topic, tracking important records, preparing questions, and locating trustworthy Missouri resources.
It is designed to help members become more informed and organized before they speak with a licensed attorney, legal-aid provider, court clerk, public agency, or other authorized source of help.
Inside the member library
What your membership includes.
The library will grow over time. Materials are general educational tools and should not be treated as individualized legal advice.

Clear membership boundaries
What membership is—and what it is not.
Citizens Law Library is designed as a legal-information and self-organization resource. We want members to understand exactly what they receive and when they should seek individualized help from a qualified legal professional.

A simple example
Organization tools are not customized legal forms.
A member may use a general timeline worksheet to record events, a document inventory to list papers, or a question worksheet before contacting an attorney. Citizens Law Library does not use those materials to tell the member what legal action to take, choose a court form, draft a filing, or assess the strength of a case.
