Guide to Free & Low-Cost Legal Resources in Utah
We have a web page where we keep a list of free and low-cost legal resources in Utah that we are made aware of. You may peruse that page, and some of those resources will have attorneys that you may contact. Here is the link: https://guides.law.byu.edu/legal-resources. We are not affiliated with any of the resources on this web page, and you will want to contact the resource directly to confirm the accuracy of information.
Legal Advice and Help from an Attorney
The BYU Law Library employees, both the full-time librarians and the law student part-time assistants, cannot offer legal advice. We are also not practicing attorneys and cannot take on your case and cannot contact attorneys on your behalf. We are here to connect you with legal resources that we have in our library and can provide you guidance in using them. You will have to use the resources yourself and determine what may or may not help you with your research or legal problem.

Reference Services for the Public
Reference services are available to help direct patrons to information and resources that may answer their questions or aid in their research. Be advised that library policy prohibits reference employees from doing research for patrons or answering specific legal questions; however, they can direct patrons to relevant sources and give instruction on their use.
The physical Reference Desk is located on the main floor of the Library, and reference services are also offered virtually. Reference services are provided by both full-time librarians and part-time law student reference assistants. If you need a full-time librarian’s assistance, you should make an appointment to guarantee their availability by emailing reference@law.byu.edu.
For reference hours, see here.
The following are methods for contacting the reference employees virtually:
You may email us your reference question or schedule an appointment at reference@law.byu.edu. For public patrons, we will attempt to answer reference questions within two business days, and we remind you that we cannot offer legal advice; we can provide answers to brief, factual research questions and resource inquiries. For example, we can help identify and locate legal materials or provide guidance in using legal resources or tools.
Call
To receive reference services by talking with a reference employee over the phone, call 801-422-6658. If a reference employee does not answer, feel free to leave a voicemail because it is checked regularly.
Historical Utah Codes
The BYU Law Library keeps previous versions of the Utah Code in print, so we have built up quite an extensive collection of historical Utah Codes. We have from 1855 to the present. We also have all the Utah Session Laws (all Utah laws compiled in chronological order).
The historical Utah Codes can be accessed by anyone that comes into the BYU Law Library, with some of the historical Utah Codes being in the Reserve Room on the main floor and some of them being on the first floor in the state materials collection.
If you are not able to come into the BYU Law Library, you may contact the University of Utah’s law library because they have a grant to scan several decades worth of historical Utah Code Annotated, mainly from the year 1943 through 1995. They are published here as they are completed: https://dc.law.utah.edu/uca/. If what you need is between 1943 and 1995 but it is not on that web page yet, you may email the U at valeri.craigle@law.byu.edu and they will expedite scanning what you need within approximately 24 business hours.
Xchange (Utah District Court Documents)
The Law Library has access to Xchange, which is a Utah-government-owned and created database that provides access to Utah state district (trial) court dockets and documents, including traffic citations in Utah.
How to Access Xchange at the BYU Law Library
If you are not a law student or faculty, you may access Xchange on one of the three legal research computers on the main floor of the Law Library by the Reference Desk. There is an icon on the desktop of these legal research computers for Xchange. It looks like this:
When you click the icon, login credentials will need to be entered in so that you can log in, and you’ll need to ask an employee at the Reference Desk to log you in. Reference hours are listed here so that you know when a good time to come into the library is.
Other Places to Access Xchange
Patrons can call their local Utah state district court buildings to see if they have a Public Access Xchange Terminal. The law library at the University of Utah has free access, as well as the Matheson Courthouse in Salt Lake City.
Reference Services for Attorneys
Reference services are available to help direct attorneys resources that may aid in their research. Be advised that library policy prohibits reference employees from doing research for patrons.
The physical Reference Desk is located on the main floor of the Library, and reference services are also offered virtually. Reference services are provided by both full-time librarians and part-time law student reference assistants. If you have an advanced legal research need and require a full-time librarian’s assistance, you should make an appointment to guarantee their availability by emailing reference@law.byu.edu.
For reference hours, see here.
The following are methods for contacting the reference employees virtually:
You may email us your reference question or schedule an appointment at reference@law.byu.edu. We will attempt to answer reference questions within two business days. The more details you provide about the legal resource you need, the better we will be able to answer your question.
Call
To receive reference services by talking with a reference employee over the phone, call 801-422-6658. If a reference employee does not answer, feel free to leave a voicemail because it is checked regularly.
Computers for Legal Research
The Library has installed a limited number of legal research computers near reference for general public access. Resources such as Westlaw Patron Access and HeinOnline are available, as well as selected CCH and ProQuest Databases. Please ask a reference librarian for assistance in using these resources.
Please be aware that we no longer have public-access printers, so results need to be saved to email or a USB drive.
Reference Services and Research Consultations for BYU Faculty and Students
Reference services are available to help direct patrons to information and resources that may answer their questions or aid in their research. Be advised that library policy prohibits reference employees from doing research for patrons or answering specific legal questions; however, they can direct patrons to relevant sources and give instruction on their use.
The physical Reference Desk is located on the main floor of the Library, and reference services are also offered virtually. Reference services are provided by both full-time librarians and part-time law student reference assistants. If you need a full-time librarian’s assistance, you should make an appointment to guarantee their availability by emailing reference@law.byu.edu.
Research consultations are recommended for BYU faculty and students who are doing academic legal research. A consultation consists of an appointment with a full-time librarian where your research question is submitted to them in advance so they can prepare resources that may be good for your research. To request a research consultation for academic legal research, email reference@law.byu.edu.

Research Help for Substantial Writing
The full-time law library faculty members are here to help you with your substantial writing!
Make an appointment for a research consultation by emailing reference@law.byu.edu (or the individual email of the specific librarian with whom you would like to meet). Include information such as your availability for an appointment, your topic and thesis, which class it is for, and who the supervising faculty member is. Then, the librarian assigned to your appointment can prepare beforehand.
Research consultations generally last 20-30 minutes.
Access to Xchange for Law Students
The BYU Law Library has access to Xchange, which is a Utah-government-owned and created database that provides access to Utah state district (trial-level) court dockets and documents, including traffic citations in Utah. It is to Utah law what PACER is to federal law, and if you practice law in Utah as an attorney, you will likely be using Xchange often for your cases.
BYU Law students and full-time BYU Law faculty can access Xchange on their personal computer by getting the username and password from Reference Services to use solely for academic purposes or for Bar applications (You may not use it for any other purpose.). You can email reference@law.byu.edu for the login credentials.
How to Find Traffic Citations Received in Utah
You can find all citations in the State of Utah (Even those you went to traffic school for; these must also be reported to the Bar.) on Utah’s online Xchange Case Search system. After you are logged in on this link, follow the next steps precisely:
- Change the jurisdiction (at the top left of the page) to “District & Justice” (Traffic citations are generally issued by a justice court, but the default in Xchange is usually just “District”). This is very important!
- Type in your last name and first name with an asterisk at the end of each one: For example: Smith* John*
- Click on the “Search” button.
- This is the most comprehensive search because the asterisk at the end of each name pulls up all possible variations in the system (middle name, middle initial, maiden name included, etc.–it all depends on how the officer issued the citation). If your name is fairly common, enter your birth date as well to narrow down the results. The court clerks encourage students to, after doing a general search, try a few variations of their name and try entering their birth date just to make sure the search is comprehensive.
If you have received a ticket outside of Utah and are applying to the Utah Bar (or any other jurisdiction that requires such reports), you will need to contact the state court in that state to find out what process you need to go through to find citations issued in that state.Questions or still having trouble finding what you need on Xchange? Contact Annalee Hickman Pierson at HickmanA@law.byu.edu.

Self-Study CLE Materials for Utah
The Utah State Bar has pre-authorized a limited number of recordings for self-study CLE credit. A fee is not charged to the attorney. Due to high demand, please call 801-422-3593 to verify the availability of CDs prior to coming to the library.
The recordings approved for credit in 2023 are:
Title | Media Type | Call Number | CLE Credits | # of Copies | Checkout Period |
Constitutional Law (Sum+Substance) (2020) | CD | KF 4550 .Z9 .C43 2020 | 14 | 1 | 24 Hours |
Torts (Sum+Substance) (2019) | CD | KF 1250 .Z9 .F56 2019 | 11 | 1 | 24 Hours |
Note: The list of CLE materials changes every calendar year. While we submit the self-study CLE credits for approval early in the fall for the following calendar year, the Utah Bar sometimes does not get back to us before the next calendar year begins. We will update the recordings approved for credit in 2024 as soon as we know them.
All of the CLE materials must be picked up in person from the law library circulation desk at BYU and may be borrowed for a 24-hour loan period.
You also have the option to listen to or watch these materials at the law library when the law library is open to the public. To listen or watch in the library, when you pick up your CLE materials from the Circulation Desk, you may also check out headphones and an external drive (which is compatible with DVDs and CDs), which will allow you to watch or listen to the CLE materials on any computer that has a USB port and applications for CD listening and DVD watching. An employee with Reference Services can get you set up on one of the law library computers to watch or listen to CLE materials.
After you have listened to the recording, please contact Annalee Hickman Pierson (HickmanA@law.byu.edu) to have your credit posted. When contacting her, you must include the following information: (1) your name, (2) your Utah bar number, (3) the name of the recording, (4) how many hours of the recording you listened to, and (5) the date(s) that you listened to the recording.
Alternative Sources of Credit:
- University of Utah CLE Collection
- Online CLE/MCLE through the Utah State Bar.
