An Authoritative Scholarly Journals Database

In both the academic and professional realm, scholarly journals are a go-to resource for original research, in-depth analyses, review articles, and book reviews relating to any subject. To provide easy access to these authoritative sources, HeinOnline has compiled more than 3,200 online scholarly journals in a fully searchable image-based database known as the Law Journal Library.

To improve the discoverability of relevant content, HeinOnline has incorporated unique artificial intelligence tools and research aids into the database interface.
