Law Reviews are scholarly legal publications published by law schools or other organizations. Examples here at UC are the University of Cincinnati Law Review, Immigration and Naturalization Law Review, Freedom Center Journal, and Human Rights Quarterly.
Law reviews can be great sources of information because they can give good policy arguments, broad background information, focus in on narrow topics, as well as cover very cutting edge and controversial topics.
Other types of periodicals that you will come across include legal magazines, newspapers, and newsletters. These are usually more practitioner oriented. They give practical information on the practice of law and serve as current awareness functions.
Note that these are indexes, not full-text sources. The index will give you the citation to an article which you would then need to retrieve if you wanted to review the full-text. There may be some overlap in coverage by the indexes but each covers some periodicals that the others do not.
