Full-Text Law Journal Databases

Williams Law Library provides access to three full-text law journal databases: Westlaw, Lexis, and HeinOnline.  Full-text databases provide access to the full-text of articles. These databases also allow you to do keyword searches through the full-text of articles. 

However, these databases do not provide comprehensive coverage of all legal journals and other publications, such as trade publications.  To do a comprehensive article search, you will also need to use journal indexes, such as the ones listed in the right hand box.

Search these databases for law reviews and legal newsletters.
