Every county in California has a board of law library trustees that oversees the county's law library, according to the rules in this chapter.

This section explains how law library trustees are chosen in California counties. In counties with up to three judges, those judges are automatically trustees, or they can choose one judge and appoint two others from the county or State Bar members. If there are more than three judges, they elect four or five trustees from their group. Judges can also appoint someone else to act for them as a trustee. The chair of the board of supervisors is also a trustee, but they can appoint someone else, like a State Bar member, to take their place. This appointment ends when a new chair is chosen. Finally, the board of supervisors picks extra trustees who are State Bar members to ensure there are at least six and no more than seven trustees. No more than two trustees can be county residents who aren't judges or State Bar or supervisor members.

This law outlines how the board of law library trustees in San Diego County is organized. The board consists of up to five superior court judges elected by their peers. They serve staggered three-year terms starting from when San Diego’s municipal and superior courts merged. Additionally, the county's board of supervisors appoints up to four resident attorneys to the board, also for staggered three-year terms, and one of them must be a member of the San Diego County Bar Association. If a trustee cannot complete their term, a new qualified person is appointed to fill the remainder of the term.

This rule addresses counties with few judges. If there are three or fewer judges in a county's superior court, the county's board of supervisors, with the agreement of most judges, can decrease the number of people managing the law library, but they can't have fewer than three trustees.

This law describes how trustees for a county law library are appointed and how long they serve. The county's board of supervisors appoints trustees when the law library is first set up, and these trustees serve until the board’s first meeting in January of the next year. After that, the board appoints new trustees each January to serve one-year terms.

In Los Angeles County, judges can appoint people to certain positions for four years, while the county's board of supervisors can appoint people for two years. No more than three members appointed by judges can have their terms end in the same year, and one member appointed by the board of supervisors should finish their term each year.

As a trustee, you serve on a voluntary basis without getting paid or receiving any kind of financial reward.

This law says that each board managing a law library must meet at least four times a year on a scheduled day and can have additional meetings as needed. The board's president can also call special meetings when necessary. To conduct business, more than half of the board members need to be present, and a majority vote is needed to make decisions.

This law says that a group in charge of a law library can remove a member from the board if they miss three meetings in a row. They can also fill any empty spots on the board, no matter why those spots are empty, except for certain members who are automatically part of the board.

This law section states that each board is responsible for choosing one of its members to serve as president.

This part of the law says that each board must have a secretary, whose job is to document all financial matters, such as property and money, and to keep detailed written records of the board's activities. These records must include how each board member voted. The secretary can use an official seal to confirm the accuracy of these records.
