Pentagon Papers, Historical Statutes & Case Law on HeinOnline

 

You might be familiar with HeinOnline’s Law Journal Library as a source of article PDFs, with coverage back to the inception of the journal – meaning further back than what you’d find on Lexis or Westlaw.

But HeinOnline is a major database with extensive materials in many different areas. Here’s a run-down of a few of the sources that HeinOnline has recently added to its collection –
