Researching Law Reviews and Law Journals: Home

Introduction

This guide offers assistance with finding articles in law reviews and law journals at STL. This guide is also intended for students and scholars who wish to submit articles for publication in law reviews and journals.

“Law journals (also called law reviews) are the scholarly literature of the academic field of law.  They are usually published by law schools and contain scholarly articles written by law professors.  The subjects are often highly detailed and narrow, or address a cutting edge area of the law.  The articles will contain hundreds of footnotes citing primary and secondary source material.  Law journal and law review pieces usually contain a high level of sophisticated analysis, and therefore are often important sources for academic legal writing.”---from Princeton University Library.
