Jenkins On Your Desktop: Pennsylvania Law School Journals on HeinOnline

HeinOnline has an extensive collection of law reviews and law journals. This collection is searchable as a whole, by subject, and by state. Most law journals on Hein are available from inception. Due to the agreements between the individual law schools and Hein, there may be a 1-2 year embargo on the most recent material.

Pennsylvania law schools have numerous journals included in Hein's Law Journal Library, including journals from Dickinson School of Law (Pennsylvania State University), Drexel University Earle Mack School of Law, Duquesne University School of Law, Temple University School of Law, University of Pennsylvania Law School, University of Pittsburgh School of Law, Villanova University School of Law, and Widener University School of Law.

Individual titles include Duquesne Business Law Journal (1999-2012), Jeffrey S. Moorad Sports Law Journal (Villanova University School of Law, 1994-2013), Penn State Law Review (1897-2013), Pittsburgh Tax Review (2003-2012), Temple Journal of Science, Technology & Environmental Law (1982-2012), University of Pennsylvania Journal of Law and Social Change (1993-2013), and more.
