Legal Journal Indexes
An index is used to locate articles in legal journals. Specific topical
indexes, such as Criminal Justice Abstracts, may be used to focus
more closely on a specific topic.

Stacks)
- Begun in 1908, this title indexes the most important legal periodicals in
a
format similar to the Readers' Guide. Articles are indexed by
subject
and author. Each volume includes a Table of Cases and a Table of Statutes
indicating articles which include a substantial discussion of a particular
decision or statute.
Records for the journals the library holds are contained in the library's
online catalog. The catalog also
shows which years are available in the building in various formats. A
periodical title's catalog record provides a link to an electronic copy of the
title, if we have access to it in that format.
The library's catalog does not contain references to the articles within
periodicals. It only records the titles of periodicals. You must use
databases, like those noted above, to search the contents of journals. In some
cases, you can find full-text of a periodical's contents using these
databases. But that is not always possible. When full-text electronic access
is not available, search the library's catalog under the name of the journal
you want, obtain its call number, and then get the volume from the
bookstack.
