History: The Peel Law Association, incorporated in 1947, established its law library in 1950 in the historic Peel County Courthouse on Main Street South. In 1967, the library moved to the south end of Brampton to the new Courthouse at 7755 Hurontario Street. As the population of Peel increased and court services expanded to 5 separate locations in Peel, the library continued to provide service to lawyers. In 2000, court space in Peel was consolidated and the library moved into the new A. Grenville and William Davis Courthouse on land adjacent to the previous General Division courthouse.

Computer User Workstations: 8 workstations / 9 laptop stations with internet connections / wireless access in library and lawyers’ lounge.

We have seating for 30 at tables, 10 at individual study carrels as well as a TV/VCR and DVD facilities. Word processing and printing capabilities are available.
