Current Index to Legal Periodicals

Current Index to Legal Periodicals (CILP) is a weekly topical index of the most recent issues of nearly 650 primarily American legal journals, organized into 104 subject headings.

How to Access CILP in HeinOnline

Electronic subscribers to the publication receive the full text of the most recent CILP issue on most Mondays of the year. Subscribers may download the CILP issue in various file formats directly in the HeinOnline interface. The files are available in a dedicated database, along with the entire archive of CILP issues.
