The San Joaquin County Law Library is one of many California County Public Law Libraries. In 1891 the California State Legislature passed an act providing the establishment of public law libraries in each county. The first San Joaquin County Law Library was established by Ordinance 269 on June 26, 1894. The Library was located in the Courthouse for over 100 years.
In 2006, the San Joaquin County Law Library relocated from the main Courthouse in Downtown Stockton to the Kress Legal Center at 20 North Sutter Street in Stockton.
California County Law Libraries are funded with a portion of the civil court filing fees in the Library’s home county. Law Libraries do not receive tax dollars. Please support your local County Public Law Library through donations.
