Module 1: Finding Secondary Legal Information

Law Reviews (Part 1)

Articles from legal newspapers, magazines, and newsletters will provide you with some basic knowledge of your topic. For more in-depth research, you should search for articles from scholarly law journals, often referred to as law reviews.

Law reviews are detailed discussions of legal issues written by law students, scholars, and practitioners. They provide useful overviews and arguments generally focused on a very narrow topic. They also contain extensive references to primary materials and additional secondary sources. Examples include the Maryland Law Review, Journal of Art and Entertainment Law, and Supreme Court Review. LexisNexis Academic contains these and over 500 other journals.
