Current Index to Legal Periodicals (CILP) 

CILP ) provides timely topical access to approximately 500 law school reviews and other selected legal journals under 100 subject headings. It is not an email alerting service, but a web service that updates weekly, and  displays Tables of Contents for issues received by the University of Washington Law Library that week.  

You can view CILP in HTML, MS Word or pdf format.   The HTML version places a Lexis and Westlaw link next to each article citation (you will be prompted for your password), so you can easily view the article.

CILP has an email alerting component, called SmartCilp (see below).

Law Review Title Pages

Go to Law Review Title Pages
Once a week, the title pages of all law reviews/journals that have been received by the Library are scanned.  These title pages are posted on the Law Library website. Faculty are notified when the new pages are available.  Photocopies of the title pages can also be sent to your office.   If you would like to be added to the routing list for this service, contact Meredith Rossi (rossim@exchange.law.nyu.edu).
