IN THE NEWS: President Obama Nominates Solicitor General Elena Kagan to U.S. Supreme Court

On Monday May 10, 2010, President Barack Obama nominated Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court.  Much has already been written in the media and on law blogs around the web, so we won't go into the details that have already been publicized.  We do however provide links to some of these posts and articles if you would like to check them out.  These links are at the bottom of this post under Related Posts From Around the Web. For now though, we turn our attention to the law review articles within HeinOnline that were authored by Supreme Court Nominee, Elena Kagan.

As a scholar who focused on issues ranging from freedom of speech to government policy making, Kagan authored a number of law review articles in publications including the Harvard Law Review, Texas Law Review, Harvard Journal of Law & Gender, Law and Social Inquiry, Supreme Court Review, Record of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, U.C. Davis Law Review, and the University of Chicago Law Review.

Quickly Access Search, Citation, Title Lookup Options on Law Journal Library Landing Page

Just over a month ago, we distributed a development survey to learn more about how researchers access content in HeinOnline. After reviewing the responses, we learned that a majority of users access content either by inserting a citation or by searching for an article or a publication title. In response to this feedback, we created a new BETA landing page for the Law Journal Library incorporating these primary options. You will now see a link to access the options on the landing page for the Law Journal Library. We invite you to try out this new page and then send us your feedback and let us know if you would like this to become the permanent landing page for the Law Journal Library.

The first option allows you to quickly search for any article by title, author, description or date.  You can also search across the full text, by country or state of publication.  This search option allows you to use more advanced search syntax such as proximity searching.
