Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search the Web for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites.
These databases are excellent starting points for your legal research:
If you’re looking for articles on a topic, search an Article Database.
Databases are collections of articles that you can search by topic or subject. Most of our databases offer links to the full text of articles.
If you have a citation to an article, search PITTCat+.
PITTCat+ will list all the journals we subscribe to either online or in paper. If the journal is online, the PITTCat+ record will offer a link directly to the journal database. If the ULS doesn’t subscribe to the journal online, PITTCat+ will list any paper volumes and issues we have of that journal.
You can also use the Citation Linker to see if the article you are searching for is available online.
If we don’t have the journal or article you need, request the article for free through Interlibrary Loan.
You can request material through PittCat using Get It, even for material that we do not own. You must be signed in and then click on the item you need. Options within the item:
