Law Library Research Consultation Request Form

Professional Legal Research Support When You Need It

Whether you're a law student tackling a complex assignment, a solo practitioner navigating unfamiliar jurisdiction, or a researcher diving into case law, our law library research consultation service connects you with expert legal research librarians who can help you find exactly what you need.

This law library research consultation request form streamlines the booking process by capturing essential details about your research needs upfront—case type, jurisdiction, research questions, deadlines, and your preferred meeting format. By understanding your requirements before the consultation, our librarians can prepare relevant resources and hit the ground running during your session.

Built for legal professionals and researchers

Paperform makes it simple for law libraries, legal clinics, bar associations, and academic law libraries to manage consultation requests efficiently. The form works beautifully on any device, matching your institution's branding, and can be embedded on your library website or shared via email and social channels.

Because legal research often involves tight deadlines and specific jurisdictional requirements, this template includes conditional logic to surface the right questions based on case type and research focus. You can even connect appointment scheduling fields to your librarian's calendar, letting requesters book available time slots automatically.

Automate your consultation workflow

Once someone submits a consultation request, Paperform can automatically send confirmation emails, add the booking to your team calendar, and create task records in your project management system. Using Stepper (stepper.io), you can build sophisticated workflows that route requests to the right subject specialist, send pre-consultation resource lists, trigger follow-up surveys, and keep your library management system in sync—all without touching a line of code.

For law libraries serving multiple institutions or offering tiered services, Paperform's conditional logic and payment fields let you manage everything from free student consultations to premium research packages for external clients.

Trusted by legal education and research institutions

With SOC 2 Type II compliance, SSO support, and robust access controls, Paperform gives legal libraries the security and governance they need while keeping the interface simple for both staff and patrons. Capture research requests, schedule consultations, collect feedback, and report on usage—all from one flexible platform designed for professional service workflows.
