The People’s Law Library of Iowa is meant to be an easy-to-understand, basic information website about the law. The website is 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 Iowa Attorney General websites.
The People’s Law Library is not legal advice, nor is it a replacement for a lawyer. The contents should be read as providing basic, introductory information only.
