Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals

The Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals (IFLP) indexes over 500 legal journals published worldwide. According to the source description, IFLP "provides in-depth coverage of public and private international law, comparative and foreign law, and the law of all jurisdictions." IFLP is available online through LUC's subscription to HeinOnline. Links to full-text articles, if available in HeinOnline, are included. See especially the subject headings "International Trade" and "World Trade Organization."

SmartCILP

CILP is a fee-based legal bibliographic service that allows users to set up a profile, based on areas of interest. Each week, users receive a list of new articles in law reviews and journals that pertain to their profile from the Current Index to Legal Periodicals (CILP). Some subject headings related to international trade include "International Law," "Comparative and Foreign Law," and "International Trade." This service is available only to Loyola Law School faculty, staff, and students. A list of periodicals indexed in CILP is available here.

Law Journal Databases and Indexes

These indexes and databases provide author, subject, and title access to the vast array of published and online legal scholarship. Both Westlaw and Lexis also offer access to law journal databases, including some foreign law reviews. Note that there are several specialized journals that cover international trade law, including the Journal of World Trade, which is available in the Kluwer Law International Journal Library (via HeinOnline with a three-year embargo) (see entry below).
