Help Finding Your Way Around The County Recorder & Assessor’s Offices – Tutorials From The Advanced Media Institute
On its website, to assist in the education and training of journalism students, the Advanced Media Institute at UC Berkeley has a collection of tutorials including research tutorials. Journalists frequently need to research the same subject areas as legal researchers – court cases, property records and business information. Many of these practical and well-organized research tutorials were authored by Paul Grabowicz for students in his Computer Assisted Reporting class.
For Alameda County legal researchers, these tutorials are especially helpful because, as they are coming out of Berkeley, the organization and procedures of Alameda County and other East Bay government offices are highlighted.
This link – https://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/tutorials/ – will take you to the home page for the tutorials. The website policy does not allow for any republishing of the content of the tutorials without express written permission but feel free to explore these internet resources.

The Few, The Proud, The Volunteers For Lawyers In The Library – Volunteers Needed For Alameda County’s Lawyers In The Library Program
Volunteers needed for Lawyers in the Library
The Lawyers in the Library program is a countywide service coordinated by the Alameda County Law Library and staffed by volunteer attorneys. Volunteer lawyers provide free, short consultations and referrals on a wide variety of issues including landlord-tenant disputes, probate matters, employment problems, and other general consumer issues. These consultations take place at selected public libraries on a rotating basis throughout the month.
ACLL is seeking legal professionals who wish to give back to their community and assist people who need a helping hand in sorting out their legal issues. The Lawyers in the Library program is an important component of the law library’s mission of providing access to justice for the community.
The Alameda County Superior Court has consolidated cases involving landlord-tenant, family law, domestic violence, and small claims at the Hayward courthouse. These are the areas of law where the parties are most likely to be self-represented. Public librarians report seeing greater demand for the Lawyers in the Library service in the southern and eastern parts of Alameda County and are eager to fill the current vacancies.
Here are the current vacancies:
