Some law schools place the contents of their law reviews on their public websites.  Others place them in a digital repository that is also freely available. Google Scholar indexes this content and provides links to the full-text when available but this is small sub-set of the whole universe of lega periodicals.  In some instances, it is possible to link through to HeinOnline from an article located through Google Scholar but this is dependent on whether or not your supporting institution has a HeinOnline subscription.
