Two New Databases Supporting Social Justice and Legal Issues Research
October 9, 2020
The Leatherby Libraries is pleased to announce that we now have access to two new free databases from HeinOnline that focus on social justice and legal issues, Civil Rights and Social Justice and Gun Regulation and Legislation in America.
Civil Rights and Social Justice contains hearings and committee prints, legislative histories, Congressional Research Service (CRS) and Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports, briefs from major Supreme Court cases, and publications from the Commission on Civil Rights covering civil rights in the United States as legal protections and definitions are expanded.
Gun Regulation and Legislation in America contains more than 500 titles covering gun regulation and legislation, including periodicals, key compiled federal legislative histories, relevant congressional hearings, CRS Reports, Supreme Court briefs, and more.
In addition, the Hugh & Hazel Darling Law Library at the Dale E. Fowler School of Law continues to provide Chapman users with a subscription to the larger HeinOnline legal database, which is also linked from the Leatherby Libraries’ Database A-Z list. HeinOnline contains more than 2,600 law and law-related journals, as well as information on cases, international law, and treaties. Subjects covered include criminal justice, political science, technology, human rights, and more.
