About the Database
Traditional legal research often involves moving between multiple platforms to piece together the full picture. Researchers may begin with primary law, consult law reviews for scholarly analysis, and then search elsewhere for practical commentary on how developments are affecting legal practice.
By integrating practitioner commentary directly into HeinOnline search results, LexBlog Library helps researchers move beyond simply identifying the law to understanding how it is being discussed, interpreted, and applied in practice.
“For more than twenty years, legal professionals have published insight and commentary on the law online, and far too much of that work has been lost. On behalf of legal professionals everywhere, we are honored that the LexBlog Library captures and structures this work, and that it is now part of HeinOnline, where for a hundred years William S. Hein & Co. has served the law libraries, firms, courts, and scholars who rely on it.”
– Colin O’Keefe, LexBlog
Key Features of the Database
Timely Commentary from Legal Professionals: One of LexBlog Library’s most valuable features is the immediacy of its content. Legal blogs often address developments long before formal scholarly analysis becomes available, making them particularly useful for tracking fast-moving issues.
- Find LexBlog Content Directly in HeinOnline Search Results: LexBlog Library content is fully integrated into the HeinOnline research experience, allowing users to discover practitioner commentary through familiar search workflows. Plus, each post is indexed with detailed metadata such as post title, blog name, publisher, author, and date, enabling precise searching, filtering, and linking.
