Tips:

  • To find articles on a topic, search Index to Legal Periodicals or LegalTrac.
  • Locate non-law journal articles addressing family law issues (e.g., best interests of the child, adoption, same-sex marriage, spousal support) by searching in databases available from the [Boatwright LibGuides].
  • Select Subject Guides: social work, sociology, psychology, gay and lesbian studies, women studies, health sciences (e.g., PubMed database).
