Law E-Resources

Biddle Law Library provides access to a large number of electronic resources for legal research, from multi-subject, multi-jurisdictional databases such as those below, to highly specialized resources for an individual area of law or a specific jurisdiction.  Biddle Law Library's Electronic Resources: A to Z page links to many of these e-resources alphabetically, or they can be browsed by subject matter on Biddle Law Library's Electronic Resources by Subject

Please note that these pages are not exhaustive, and Biddle may well have additional e-resources in the area of your faculty member's interest.  Search the library's catalog by subject for additional options, or consult a reference librarian for advice on more resources as well as training in using them.

Periodical Indexes

Legal periodicals indexes provide enhanced searching functions, allowing the researcher to look for articles in law reviews, law journals and other legal periodicals by subject, keyword, date, and other elements. 

In addition to the following online indexes, Biddle holds a number of periodicals indexes in print, for those searching for foreign-language, older, or subject-specific articles.
