Mexican Legal Research Guide

Periodicals are good way to obtain background information, locate the text of a law, a citation, or locate information about a subject. Use our Journal Finder to determine whether Georgetown has access to a particular journal: search for a journal’s name to find out what options may exist for full-text electronic or print access. If Georgetown does not have access to a particular journal, you can request an article via interlibrary loan.

The full text of articles from periodicals are also available in many databases, including the following:

• Cambridge Core
• Kluwer Law Online: Journals
• Oxford Journals
• Academic Search Premier
• ProQuest Central
