The Library maintains subscriptions to thousands of legal periodicals.
Legal periodicals include law reviews, bar journals, legal newspapers and legal newsletters. In the United States, law reviews (or law journals) are the most common form of legal periodical, and are typically produced by law schools. Articles within law reviews tend to be lengthy and academic, taking an in-depth look at a particular legal issue. Law professors write the majority of law review articles. The Library subscribes to every law review produced by an ABA-accredited law school in the United States.
The Library provides access to legal periodicals through online indexes to journal articles and print indexes in the reference stacks. It is usually more effective to search the online indexes because they are cumulative; the print indexes are not.
The Library's collections also include a large number of non-legal periodicals. As legal scholarship becomes increasingly interdisciplinary,support of the law faculty's research requires that the Library subscribes to major professional and academic journals in several non-legal fields. For example, the Library subscribes to The New England Journal of Medicine, The Journal of American History, Journal of Labor Research, and Science.
