Legal Resources Index
The Legal Resources Index is an online version of the print Current Law Index and the CD-ROM called LegalTrac. At the end of the 80’s, this law index was the second-generation index produced by Information Access Company, the publisher of Current Law Index.
The Legal Resources Index is available on both Lexis and Westlaw to authorized password holders. This index is an electronic version of the Current Law Index ( the paper set isn’t current). Entries in this online index are drawn from more than 850 law reviews, bar association journals, legal newspaper, and articles of interest to the legal community that appear in general publications. Indexing of articles begins after December 1979.
See Index to Legal Periodicals for more information.
