2023 April New Resources

In April 2023, the Law Library added the following new resources to the collection to support the research and curricular needs of our faculty and students.

New Resources

1. Law Library of Congress Reports (HeinOnline) The Law Library produces reports on foreign, comparative, and international law in response to requests from Members of Congress, Congressional staff and committees, the federal courts, executive branch agencies, and others. Selected reports are provided for the public for reference purposes only and do not constitute legal advice. The information provided reflects research undertaken as of the date of writing, which has not been updated unless specifically noted. Current and historical reports are released periodically. The reports as hosted by the Law Library of Congress can be accessed at its website.

2. Military Legal Resources (U.S. JAG School) (HeinOnline) HeinOnline has developed the Military Legal Resources (U.S. Army JAG School) in conjunction with the William Winthrop Memorial Library of the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s School to replace the Winthrop Library’s Military Legal Resources collection previously hosted by the Library of Congress. The goal of the collection is exhaustiveness. It aims to collect every current and historical military legal document and resource needed by judge advocates, law school professors, and members of the general public interested in military law. New materials will be added to the collection on a regular basis.
