Try out the Oxford Handbook Series online

The Library currently has a trial to Oxford Handbooks Online, which lasts until February 15. According to the publisher, the Oxford Handbook Series “brings together the world’s leading scholars to write review essays that evaluate the current thinking on a field or topic, and make an original argument about the future direction of the debate.” Among the scholars who have published review essays are Law School faculty members Tom Ginsburg and Brian Leiter. This is the first time that the entire collection of work across fourteen subject areas is available online. Among those subject areas is Law, and the Handbooks cover 423 legal topics from Abortion and Reproductive Rights to the World Trade Organization. The Handbooks are especially useful for providing a comparative approach to various legal topics.

Access to the Oxford Handbook Series is available until February 15, 2014. If you try it out, let us know what you think.
