Beginning with Volume 21, periodicals indexed do not include law journals or any periodicals that are directly law-related, with the exception of newer periodicals not yet indexed elsewhere.

Note: The subject headings used in the Index are selected, with modifications by the Editors, from the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH).
