The Library offers six subject-specific current legal literature services, covering:

• actual innocence,
  
• capital punishment, 
• copyright, 
• domestic violence, 
• energy law, 
• patent law and 
• trademark law.

These services provide basic bibliographic data for recent articles appearing in U.S. legal journals and non-U.S. legal journals published in English. Additionally, the first page of each article is available in .pdf format for 60 days, providing readers with a more complete idea of the scope of each article and the biographical background of the authors.

Each current legal literature service is typically updated two to three times a week, depending on the volume of cites. Additonally, each service is RSS-enabled, providing subscribers with automatic notices of updates.
