4 Legal Research Databases Every Law Student Needs to Know About

Welcome to another blog post! Today I’m talking about something that I think every law student probably knows about. Of course, you know from the title already but I’m talking about legal research databases.

Legal databases are exactly what it says on the tin. They are collections full of previous cases, legislation, textbooks, articles, encyclopaedias etc. They are designed to help with specialist research in law. The ones that I’m sharing with you today are not an exhaustive list. There are a few more out there but these are ones that I have utilised. Let’s get to it!

1) Westlaw – Click here

2) Law Trove – Click here

3) HeinOnline – Click here

4) Lexis+ – Click here

And that’s it! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to read this post and I will see you soon for another one!
