Paper Writing Resources

1.  For law review and other legal articles:

• In Lexis, Westlaw or Bloomberg Law, copy and paste either the citation or the ARTICLE title into the search box.  You may then need to use filters/tabs to narrow to Secondary materials or law reviews. 
• If not available on Lexis, Westlaw or Bloomberg Law (or if the article has a chart, table or other graphic), try the Citation Navigator in HeinOnline.

2.  Search the JOURNAL title in the law library's online catalog and Journal Finder to find out if you can access the journal via the law library.

3.  If not available in Hofstra databases, try a Google Scholar or Google search (or other web search engine) for the article title.  You might also want to search the journal's website to see if an archive is available.  If the journal is published by a University, try the University's web site and look for an "Institutional Repository" or archive of publications.

4.  Email lawreference@hostra.edu and request an interlibrary loan (ILL).

Use HeinOnline's Citation Navigator below to locate articles with a known citation.  HeinOnline is useful especially for older law review articles or law review articles with charts or images. (Access limited to Hofstra University community)
