FREE online law magazine

by Lynn Lenart, Law Librarian on September 25, 2009

in Legal Resources, Lynn Lenart

The Legal Workshop features short, concise articles written by scholars but for a generalist audience.  You can read the “short and sweet” version on the site, or for some of the articles, you can read the full law review version.  FREE.

Here is more information from a press release:

“A consortium of America’s most influential law reviews launched The Legal Workshop (www.legalworkshop.org ), a free, online magazine featuring articles based on legal scholarship.  The Legal Workshop features short, plain-English articles about legal issues and ideas, written by an author whose related, full-length work of scholarship is forthcoming in one of the participating law reviews.”

“It’s really the best of both worlds,” said Dahlia Lithwick, the Stanford Law alumnus who covers the Supreme Court for Slatein a highly influential column. “The general public can be better engaged with the latest thinking about the law while knowing that what they’re reading is serious scholarship; not just fad or opinion.”

Sort and read articles by topic, by legal journal title or month.  Some popular topics are Constitutional law, Bill of Rights, law and politics, law and economics, etc.

You can search the site using a search box on the page, post comments to articles and there is a RSS feed.
