With Gale LegalForms, libraries can help their community members address legal affairs with confidence. Gale LegalForms provides an extensive selection of essential state-specific forms that can be customized for various common legal procedures. 

Available in September 2024, the latest enhancements to Gale LegalForms will give librarians greater insights into resource usage and provide more support for patrons searching for legal guidance. Explore updates below that will improve usage reporting, user search experiences, and support for military-related legal needs.

The new enhancements to Gale LegalForms include improved monthly usage data. These insights will help librarians better understand how individuals are using the resource to offer more support for the most common legal needs in their community.

Monthly usage data will now allow subscribers to see the following:

  • Top searches conducted by users
  • Top forms viewed
  • Usage of supplemental sections in Gale LegalForms, including Articles, the Attorney Directory, the Law Digest, Legal Definitions, and Legal Q&A 
  • Greater detail on each form downloaded in the previous month, such as the type of file and the language of the form
