> We are pleased to announce the University Law Review
> Project. The project currently provides two services, an
> e-mail abstract service of upcoming law review and journal
> articles and a full text search service of law journals on
> the Internet. The University Law Review Project's services
> are brought to you by FindLaw, an Internet community
> focused on law.
>
> Conception of the University Law Review Project occurred
> when a group of law journal editors met at the Fifth
> Conference on Computers Freedom and Privacy Conference in
> Burlingame, California in 1995. FindLaw and the editors are
> dedicated to the distribution of legal information on the
> Internet and thus we have initiated these services.
>
> These services are free for both academics and
> non-academics. These services and FindLaw's index to law on
> the Internet can be found by way of the FindLaw home page
> (http://www.findlaw.com).
>
> The search engine used for the University Law Review
> Project's full text law index was made available by Verity
> Inc. (http://www.verity.com/); additional help was provided
> by the Stanford University Digital Libraries Project
> (http://www-diglib.stanford.edu/diglib/).
>
> It is our hope that providing free legal material on the
> Internet will be of great value to the legal and Internet
> communities. We think it is important that we use this new
> medium to expand the readership of law reviews beyond the
> academic community, while making it easier for members of
> the academic community to find articles that interest them.

> ABSTRACTS OF LAW REVIEWS
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Law reviews and law journals are working with FindLaw to
> distribute abstracts of their upcoming issues. Both
> academics and non-academics may receive copies of these
> abstracts in the areas of law that interest them.
>
> We have 31 legal subject areas in which we will be
> e-mailing out abstracts. You may subscribe to as many or as
> few of the areas as you wish.
>
> The 31 areas are as follows:
>
> (01) Antitrust & Trade Regulation, (02) Banking Law, (03)
> Bankruptcy Law, (04) Commercial Law, (05) Communications
> Law, (06) Constitutional Law, (07) Contracts, (08)
> Corporation & Enterprise Law, (09) Criminal Law, (10)
> Cyberspace Law, (11) Dispute Resolution & Arbitration, (13)
> Entertainment & Sports Law, (13) Environmental Law, (14)
> Ethics & Professional Responsibility, (15) Family Law, (16)
> Government Benefits, (17) Government Contracts, (18) Health
> Law, (19) Immigration Law, (20) Indian Law, (21) Injury and
> Tort Law, (22) Intellectual Property, (23) International
> Trade, (24) Judges and the Judiciary, (25) Labor &
> Employment Law, (26) Legal Theory, (27) Litigation, (28)
> Probate, Trusts & Estates, (29) Property Law & Real
> Estate, (30) Securities Law, (31) Tax Law
>
> You can subscribe to the mailing lists to receive these
> abstracts in two ways. You may visit a WWW page
> (http://diglib.stanford.edu/lawcgi/join/add.cgi) and fill
> out a form. Alternatively you may send an e-mail to
> [log in to unmask] Once you have sent the
> e-mail, an auto-reply will be sent back asking you which
> legal topic areas you are interested in receiving
> abstracts.

>
> With each article abstract we will include the Internet URL
> location of the full text of the article (if available) and
> the hard copy subscription information for the law journal
> that the article appears in.
>
> In the future we will also allow you to receive abstracts
> of individual law journals in addition to receiving the
> abstracts by subject area. We will send a notice to those
> receiving subject based abstracts when this additional
> service is available.
>
> Law journals need not be on the Internet to have their
> abstracts included in this service. We do send out
> abstracts from law journals that are available only in hard
> copy. We include subscription information to the hard copy
> of all journals to help individuals who seek the full text
> of the articles.
>
> There is no charge to law journals to be included in this
> service. We are also not limiting this project to the
> United States, and invite journals from throughout the
> world to join.
>
> If you are with a law review or law journal that is not
> currently involved with this project and wish to be
> included, please send e-mail to [log in to unmask] for
> more information on joining the project.

> FULL TEXT SEARCHES OF LAW REVIEWS ON THE INTERNET
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> To access the full text search of law reviews and journals
> on the Internet go to the main FindLaw page
> (http://www.findlaw.com/).
>
> With the Verity Topic Internet Server we are able to
> maintain a full text searchable database of all law reviews
> and journals that are on the Internet. Currently there are
> over 35 law reviews indexed, including some that are only
> available by way of the Internet. The full indexing allows
> you to search all of the law reviews and journals on the
> Internet with one search. We offer Boolean and word
> proximity searches of the full text database. Law journals
> can be searched individually as well. The database is
> updated nightly.
>
> We will be helping more law reviews and journals set up on
> the Internet in the upcoming months. We will also help them
> set up full text searching of their individual law journal
> as well as all of the law journals from their own home
> page.
>
>

> SEARCH THE LAW REVIEWS FROM YOUR OWN HOME PAGE
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> We encourages others to include the html source code to
> search the law reviews and journals from their own home
> pages. The html code below when placed within a html
> document will give you the ability to search all the law
> reviews and journals from your (or your firm's, company's
> or school's) home page. We also encourage individuals and
> organizations to be able to search the FindLaw pages of
> legal information on the Internet directly from their home
> page. The following code allows that as well.
>
> Insert the following html code to search the law reviews
> and FindLaw legal sources from your own home page.
