Law journal articles may be found using an index to legal periodical literature. Three of the most widely used law journal indexes are the Index to Legal Periodicals, the Legal Scholarship Network, and LegalTrac. Each database provides multiple fields to search, including title, author, subject and keyword.

Once you have identified potentially relevant articles, use the print journal, Hein Online, JSTOR or another full-text database to retrieve the article(s). HeinOnline and JSTOR provide access to legal and non-legal journal literature, respectively.  Both provide .PDF versions of articles, as well as search functionality.  They are particularly useful for retrieving items with specific citations.

Use LexisNexis, Westlaw, Academic Search Elite, Index to Legal Periodicals, and the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals to find law review articles containing references to multilateral treaties. Access these databases from the Law Library's Electronic Resources Page. Only UIowa law students have access to LexisNexis and Westlaw, and must use their vendor-issued user names and passwords.

Also please note that law journals sometimes publish multilateral treatises as appendices to articles or symposia.

Finally, multilateral treaties are sometimes published in foreign or regional law "yearbooks." The UIowa Law Library (in print) and HeinOnline (electronic resource; in PDF) carry foreign/regional law yearbooks:

Please note: HeinOnline coverage is selective.
