The online Pennsylvania Law Weekly archive covers the period 1/3/2000 to the present.

This search includes all article text, including headlines, kickers, subheadlines and bylines.

By default, search terms are joined with a logical and. Searching for liability construction will return articles that contain both liability and construction, but not articles that include just one of the terms.

The search supports boolean queries and grouping, e.g., (supreme OR superior) AND court. That query would return documents that reference the Supreme Court or Superior Court.

A minus sign may be used to exclude words from a search. For example, malpractice -medical will return documents that contain the word malpractice but not the word medical.

To search for phrases, enclose text in quotation marks. For example, use "superior court" insurance to search for items that contain both the phrase superior court and the word insurance.

The search supports two wildcard operators. * represents zero or more characters, while ? represents exactly one character. document? will only return results that contain the word documents while document* will additionally return results that contain documentation and document. The wildcard character can not be used as the first character of a search term; there must be at least one letter in front of it.

The search results can be limited by publication date and article type.
