Full-Text

Both Lexis and Westlaw have full-text law reviews, many back to the 1980s.

HeinOnline
Provides full text of many legal journals, with coverage extending back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries for many of these journals (not the case in Lexis or Westlaw). Hein is continually enhancing the database to include more recent volumes (albeit with a moving wall precluding access to many of the latest issues) and more journals. LawCat includes links to all journals in HeinOnline from their catalog records.

JSTOR
Reliable archive of important scholarly journal literature from a variety of disciplines including some major law reviews. There are also links to all journals in JSTOR from their catalog records in LawCat.
