Abstract

Periodical articles are a major secondary source for legal researchers today. With over 800 legal periodicals-law reviews, bar association journals, society publications, and commercial periodicals-there appears to be no stoppage in the growth of these periodicals. Almost every day a new periodical dealing with a specialty topic appears!1 Almost every academic law school today has at least two reviews, with Harvard leading the list with thirteen.2 Law librarians are of course familiar with some of the historical developments of legal periodical that are treated in both older and more recent standard legal research guides.3 But even as new journals are published frequently, the publication of traditional law reviews is being threatened by electronic publishing by authors that might render paper law reviews unnecessary.4
