State Session Laws via HeinOnline

February 28th, 2007

HeinOnline, our popular subscription database containing the images of thousands of law journal articles, the CFR and much, much more (see below), has added a new digital collection:

State Session Laws

Just released, HeinOnline’s State Session Laws digital collection contains the Session Laws (all the laws, acts or ‘public laws’ passed by a legislature during a session) of all 50 U.S. States from approximately 2003 to present. Future online releases will include new Session Laws as published as well as expanded coverage of historical Session Laws prior to 2003.

Over the next few years Hein will continue adding more and more historical Session Laws as far back as the Colonial period of the United States, making State Session Laws an invaluable legal research tool.

Until then, researchers may continue to use our microfiche collection of State Session Laws, looking forward to having full-text search access to the HeinOnline collection in the near future.

Don’t miss the many other invaluable HeinOnline digital libraries. Here is the full list of available through our subscription:

Coming soon!

  • English Reports
  • Foreign and International Law Resources Database
  • Trials Library

As with most of our other subscription databases, HeinOnline digital collections are available to active students, faculty and staff of Lewis & Clark Law School. Access from on-campus is seemless; from off-campus merely input your L&C username and password when prompted. Not a current student or law faculty? HeinOnline and our other subscription databases are available at the legal research computer stations located behind the reference desk. Check Law Library hours here.

Questions about how HeinOnline can help your research and cite checking? Stop by, call or email a librarian at the reference desk.
