Happy Halloween! Legal research doesn't have to be scary — unless you're pulling up one of the Halloween-themed law review articles we've listed below! All of the articles listed can be accessed through HeinOnline, an incredibly thorough collection of legal periodicals that is part of the State Law Library's Digital Collection.
Registered patrons with the State Law Library can use HeinOnline to access almost 3,000 different law reviews and law journals, federal Congressional material, and subject-specific collections like Civil Rights and Social Justice, Gun Regulation and Legislation in America, the Pentagon Papers, and Slavery in America and the World. To hear more about HeinOnline, what it covers, and how to pull up the articles listed below, you can watch our Assistant Director walk you through the database and how to use it on YouTube! If you don't already have a free library account with us, you can register for one online for your Halloween treat.
