What the People’s Law Library is:
The People’s Law Library of Iowa is meant to be an easy-to-understand, basic information website about
the law. The website can be a good starting point for understanding some legal issues.
It connects users with cases, statutes, and administrative rules, so anyone can read the original text
being summarized. It also connects users to other important sources,
like the Iowa Judicial Branch or the Iowa Attorney General’s websites.
The People’s Law Library is not intended to provide legal advice, nor is it a substitute for consulting
a lawyer. The contents should be read as providing basic, introductory information only.
The law can be complicated, and many aspects of the law change regularly.
For more information about how to find a lawyer, including free and low-cost options,
