Dade County Law Library
Library in Miami, FL
The county law libraries in Florida were founded by a Special Act of the Florida Legislature in 1937 (Laws of Florida, Chapter 17720) which prescribed a tax on members of the Bar in counties having a population of 180, 000 or more, to be used for the establishment of a law library in that county. This legislation has been supplemented by various acts throughout the years. This act was implemented in Dade County by a rule of the Circuit Court adopted in June, 1937, which placed the supervision, management and control of the library in a Board of three Trustees, appointed by the presiding Circuit Judge.

Dade County Law Library
read moreThe library is located on the third floor (Room 321) of the Miami-Dade County Courthouse, 73 West Flagler Street in downtown Miami. When the Miami-Dade County Law Library (MDCLL) system was created under a plan conceived and sponsored by the Miami-Dade County Bar Association in 1937 (Laws of Florida, Chapter 17720), it was dedicated to the "perpetual use" of the Bench and Bar of Miami-Dade County. Although the library's collection has grown from its original 4,000 volumes to almost 70,000 volumes today, and its mandate has expanded to include service to all the citizens of Miami-Dade County, the founding principle of providing "accessibility to the sources of legal knowledge and experience" remains firmly in place.
