Abstract
Public law school libraries are often the only or one of the few sources of legal information that the general public can access for free or low-cost. One of the main methods for a member of the general public to obtain the information is by using the help of reference or research services at the public law school law library. However, given the use of the library by the public law school community, a member of the general public is often guided to a written reference services policy. This paper explores what is contained in those reference services policies and suggests recommendations for future studies and methods to improve them for the general public.
