Law journals
Law journals, also known as law reviews, are collections of peer-reviewed scholarly articles. Law journals can be general in scope, or focused on a particular area of law or geographical region. Law journal articles can be helpful to consult in the first stages of research, because they will often summarize the law on a subject up to that point.
