In addition to legal scholarship published in journals and law reviews, the databases HeinOnline, Lexis-Nexis, and Westlaw Campus Research each provide multiple resources for legal research, including court decisions, statutes, and regulations. See the note in bold under each one to see how to limit your search to journal scholarship. The remaining three databases only index legal scholarship.
HeinOnline is the most comprehensive, although it does not always include the most recent issues.
