Users can browse and search through a user-friendly interface and download and export data.

Looking for uniform and model acts?

The archive of publications from the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws is available in HeinOnline.  This archive provides access to the full text of all Model Acts drafted, recommended or endorsed by the Conference. It includes the NCCUSL – Archive Publications, Handbook of the NCCUSL and transcripts of Proceedings of the Annual Conference Meeting, 1st-122nd Conference (1891-2013), as well as the transcripts of the discussions in the Committee of the whole of each Uniform and Model Act. Also included are the approved “successive drafts” of each Uniform and Model Act.

We also provide individual title access to this material in NUcat.

Over 980 publications, representing the complete archive from the Tax Foundation, have been added to HeinOnline, and are now available to Northwestern users.  Many of these titles, covering taxation, fiscal policy, finance, and more, have been long out of print.  To see a listing of the titles available, please click here.

The PLRC supports serious scholarly and learning endeavors.  But we also have some titles in our collection that reflect the sometimes lighter side of the law.  Check out one of these, or others nearby in the library, under the grand staircase:
