With few exceptions, the links go to pdf files created by, and downloaded from, HeinOnline, which can be found on the Internet at https://heinonline.org/. If you are interested in getting electronic versions of other law review articles too old be be available on the Internet, or from the Lexis and Westlaw online collections, you might wish to explore a HeinOnline license.
This is believed to be a "fair use" of this material insofar as Nicholas Johnson is the author of the articles, they are being made available for educational purposes only, no charge is made for access, and their availability will not detract from the commercial revenue of either HeinOnline or any of the journals.
Some of the exceptions, scanned
from hard copy, or otherwise obtained, and now available in html or other
formats, are "What Do Law Clerks Do?," "A Judge's Eye View of Computers,"
"With Due Regard for the Opinions of Others," and "Forty Years of Wandering
in the Wasteland." Two of the articles, published in two places, are only
linked to one source.
