Journals

Reading recently published journal articles is a good way of finding out about the latest legal research and developments. Journals may be published in print or electronic format, sometimes both. They are published at regular intervals, usually monthly or quarterly, and each issue will contain several articles, all by different authors.

If the library has print copies of a journal, all the issues for a year are eventually bound together in a single volume. Online journals are available within databases or from publisher websites. Check StarPlus to find individual journal titles.
