The librarians at these libraries know a lot about legal resources and can help you find what you need. The Nevada Supreme Court law librarians can help you in person, or you can reach them by chat, email, or phone.

| Direct public to sources of law and forms | Interpret statutes, cases, or regulations |
| Instruct how to use legal materials | Offer opinions on legal issues |
| Explain format requirements for pleadings | Select specific forms and/or instruct you on what you should put in those forms |
| Locate informative reading materials | Make referrals for specific attorneys |
| Provide a limited numbers of cases, statutes, and/or regulations via email, when you provide us with the citations | Perform legal research for you. We cannot answer, "can you help me find cases on landlord/tenant law?" However, we can tell you how to do this type of research yourself. |
