Databases: Introduction

The Alma Jordan Library (AJL) subscribes to several core law databases. There are also general and multidisciplinary databases that contain law and law-related content.

Databases are electronic resources that typically offer citation, abstract/description, or full text access to a range of content such as books, journal articles, legislation, cases, and more.

Note: International law databases are listed here as this is the "master" list of law databases. However, more detailed references are made to such databases in the following guide: International & Regional Law (STA).
