Legal Research: Legal Journals and Law Reviews

Research techniques and Library and Internet resources based on an undergraduate legal research course (at ISU: Political Science 211)

Online Law Reviews

Both Westlaw and Nexis-Uni cover legal publications. Many will summarize topic areas and all will include links to specific cases. So many of these are like literature reviews, and are helpful if you are studying a new area of law.

Other general databases also cover some law journals & reviews. You can search by Subject under Electronic Resources to see lists.
