Massachusetts Bar Association members can now view online and
search every past issue of the MBA's Massachusetts Law
Review through a partnership with HeinOnline.
The Massachusetts Law Review is the longest continually
published law review in the nation.
MBA members can now view every issue, starting with the
Massachusetts Law Quarterly (the original name of the
Massachusetts Law Review) Vol. 1, No 1, from November
1915, through the most recent Massachusetts Law Review,
Vol. 97, No. 2. Using the HeinOnline search function, users can
type in a search term (e.g., "eminent domain") to find all of the
Massachusetts Law Review articles over the past 100 years,
where that term has appeared.
Previously, the MBA website included only the most recent issues
of Massachusetts Law Review and older issues had to be
looked up on microfiche. There was also no way to search past
issues by keyword.
Log in under the Publications tab on www.MassBar.org for easy access to the law
review's articles, case comments and book reviews, using an online,
searchable database. This service is provided to MBA members as a
free member benefit.
The Massachusetts Law Review archive on HeinOnline also
works seamlessly with the MBA's recently introduced Fastcase
benefit. In many cases, citations to Massachusetts appellate court
opinions that appear in the law review articles will hyperlink
directly to the opinion itself.
