Scholarship on emerging topics not yet covered in books or journal literature can be located in working or research papers.
The main library offers many databases for locating journal literature from other disciplines, like political science, public policy, business, and many more. To locate relevant databases, select the subject from the A-Z list of databases. Databases noted as "Recommended" are good places to start. These databases should prove useful:

You can search full-text legal journals using these four databases (all are available on the library's top databases):
Note: These sources are more limited in scope than the indexes noted above. They contain a great many legal journal articles from the U.S. and much less from other countries. To be thorough, search both the indexes and the full-text sources.
