See what we’ve been up to this past month with our latest content release, sent with love from our living rooms to yours.

Highlights of the Past Month
Our Criminal Justice Database Got a Makeover
For the past few months, the HeinOnline production team worked tirelessly to incorporate a massive update into one of our most popular databases, Criminal Justice in America. The unprecedented breadth of criminal justice and criminology content included in this addition (more than 2 million pages) led us to completely reorganize the database, subject-code the material, and give the collection a new and improved name more reflective of its new and improved content. Learn more about Criminal Justice & Criminology, your must-have resource for researching these two disciplines, in this recent blog post.
Individuals and Institutions Can Now Edit Author Profiles
HeinOnline’s Author Profile Pages have long been an essential feature for showcasing the scholarly work of HeinOnline authors. Many have asked us for the ability to edit their own author profiles, or the author profiles of faculty at their institution. We’re pleased to announce that we’ve now added these two features for your convenience. Check out this blog post to get started.
HeinOnline’s BLASE Received the 2020 AALL Joseph L. Andrews Legal Literature Award

Communication Law and Policy
Full Text: Vols. 1-19 (1996-2014)
Indexed: Vols. 1-25#1 (1996-2020)
Published by Taylor & Francis
The societal, cultural, economic, and political dimensions of communication, including the freedoms of speech and press, are undergoing dramatic global changes. As a forum for discussions of continuing and emerging questions in these areas, Communication Law and Policy considers traditional and contemporary problems of freedom of expression and dissemination. The double-blind peer-reviewed journal seeks research that is informed theoretically by First Amendment and constitutional analyses, historical approaches to communication law and policy issues, contemporary social theory literature that treats the law as cultural forms, the sociology and philosophy of law, systems approaches, critical theory, and other appropriate theoretical bases. The journal publishes rigorously reasoned and thoroughly researched studies based on traditional legal research, social science techniques, or ethnographic, international, or comparative analyses, as well as articles using other approaches to pertinent topics.
Indiana Journal of Constitutional Design
Vols. 1-4#1 (2016-2019)
Published by Indiana University Bloomington, Maurer School of Law
The Indiana Journal of Constitutional Design is an online interdisciplinary forum devoted to the development of the new field of constitutional design. Grown out of the work of the Center for Constitutional Democracy (CCD) at the Maurer School of Law at Indiana University, the journal builds on the CCD’s study and practice of constitutional design by providing a forum for the discussion and dissemination of related information and ideas.
This peer-edited publication differs from a traditional law journal in at least two ways: (1) it includes many different types of contributions of varying length, ranging from summaries of research on a topic, to taxonomies of constitutional mechanisms serving particular functions, to the development of theoretical models concerning constitutional design, and (2) its contributions draw on a wide range of disciplinary frameworks and skill sets, some focused on political science, economics, or anthropology, rather than law. The journal ultimately aims to contribute to the practice and theory of the developing field of constitutional design, providing information of use to both practitioners engaged in constitutional drafting or advising as well as scholars studying these processes.
Oditor – Journal for Management, Finance, and Law
2010-2020#1

Though particularly applicable to researchers of civil law, public law, international law, and law and economics, Oditor publishes articles, contributions, comments, essays, debates, notes, and book reviews on all aspects of law and social sciences. Special emphasis is placed on both contemporary legal developments as well as jurisprudence and legal history.
Revista Justica do Direito

Russian Juridical Journal
1993-2020#1

Though a product of the Urals State Law University, the Russian Juridical Journal cooperates with the largest legal schools of Russia as well as regional government bodies to provide access to informational materials, publish scientific articles, and carry out round-table discussions. Primarily covering areas such as the theory of law and state, international law, economy and law, civil law and procedure, and criminal law and procedure, the journal gives special attention to problems of state and local self-management, investigatory and judiciary practice, and comparative jurisprudence.
SMU Law Review Forum
Vols. 72-73 Article 3 (2019-2020)
Published by Southern Methodist University, Dedman School of Law
The SMU Law Review Forum is a brand new online journal edited by the students of the SMU Law Review Association. The Forum was established in 2019 as a counterpart to the print SMU Law Review, which deals with significant questions of local, national, and international law.

The Statelessness and Citizenship Review is a new online journal, the first to be entirely dedicated to advancing the understanding of statelessness and related citizenship phenomena and challenges, helping to meet the growing demand for the exchange of ideas and knowledge among scholars in the blossoming field of statelessness studies. This peer-reviewed, biannual interdisciplinary journal contains original scholarly articles, book reviews, case notes (offering summaries and commentaries on significant global jurisprudence), and critiques and comments from scholars and practitioners on emerging research, policy trends, and other new developments.

2010-2019
Published by Saint Petersburg State University
