First, make sure you check the library databases for law review articles. Here is a list of databases that include Law content.

If you still need an article that's not in a library database, you can actually request an interlibrary loan for articles that we don't have just like you can with books! The service is free, so you don't need to worry about any fees.

When trying to access articles that aren't full-text, you should be provided an option to request them through interlibrary loan.

You can also go directly to the library homepage - then click 'Request an Interlibrary Loan' under the 'Services' tab.

Once there, click the 'Request an Interlibrary Loan' button. 

A form will open - just fill in the required fields, like the journal name, volume, number, and publication year, as well as the article title and author. Then hit submit and we will process the interlibrary loan for you. 

The article should arrived within 2-5 days and we will email you a digital copy.
