Law Reviews of the Future

Question: A student working on a source collection was unable to locate volume 85 of the Indiana Law Journal which was alleged to contain two documents referenced by the author of the article the journal was editing.

Answer: Wypyski, Legal Periodicals in English, indicates that current numbering of the Indiana Law Journal begins with volume 1, 1926. That means that the current 2007 volume should be volume 81. The referenced documents were found in the current volume of the Indiana Law Journal at the page numbers provided by the author in Volume 81, Issue 4. It looks as though the volume number and issue number were added together in the original citation, perhaps indicating some confusion by the author or the author’s research assistants about the relationship between issues and volumes.
