You can use NUsearch to locate articles in traditional law journals, scholarly journals from other disciplines and newspapers.

 If you are looking for a specific article, you can use the Advanced Search screen to search within Title or Author fields.  Note that Title = title of article.  There is a separate field for Journal Title. 

You can also do a basic keyword search for articles.  NUsearch assumes that you are searching for all the words you type unless OR or NOT are specified between the words and phrases. To use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) within search phrases, you must enter them in uppercase letters. To search for a phrase, type quotation marks around the phrase.

Use the filters to narrow to peer-reviewed journals, to limit by subject heading or to filter by date.

Lexis and Westlaw both contain law review articles in their secondary source collections. Coverage of journals in Lexis and Westlaw varies. 

The library subscribes to several other databases that include extensive collections of law journals.
