How to Browse Articles and Issues on the Richmond Journal of Law and Technology Website

Go to jolt.richmond.edu and start on the homepage: it surfaces content from the journal's latest issue, with articles listed by title and author name. From there, use the site's issue and archive navigation to move from current scholarship to older volumes. This guide is for readers who want to find and read the journal's published articles; no account or special access steps are described in the available site information.

What the homepage shows you

The Richmond Journal of Law and Technology describes itself as the first exclusively online law review. Its homepage is organized around current content rather than a static welcome page. The visible "From Our Latest Issue" section lists recent articles in a simple format:

• Article title — for example, "Rethinking Federal Rule of Evidence 707: Reliability and Transparency in AI-Generated Evidence"
• Author name — for example, "By: Sara Williams"

A second sample entry, "Digital Judgment: Towards a Blockchain-Based Recognition System" by Avaskhan Z. Asanaliyev, follows the same pattern. This tells you the fastest way to identify something worth reading: scan titles and authors in the latest-issue block, then open the article you want.

Why this matters for research

Because entries pair a specific title with a named author, you can judge relevance before clicking. If you are looking for scholarship on AI-generated evidence or blockchain-based legal systems, the homepage alone may point you to a current piece. If your interest is narrower or historical, go straight to the issue and archive navigation instead of scrolling the homepage.

Steps to find a specific article or issue

1. Open the homepage at jolt.richmond.edu.
2. Check the latest issue block first if you want current scholarship. Read the titles and author names.
3. Select an article title to open that piece.
4. Use the issues/archive navigation if you need a specific volume or an older article. The site organizes published content by issue, so browsing by issue is the reliable path when you know roughly when something was published.
5. Confirm you have the right piece by matching the title and author against what you were looking for.

Expected result: you land on the article page for the piece you selected, or on an issue listing that lets you choose among that issue's articles.

Common sticking points

• Starting from the homepage only. The latest-issue block highlights a small set of recent articles. If the piece you want is older, the archive is the better entry point.
• Searching by topic instead of by issue. The visible homepage structure emphasizes issue-based browsing. If a general search does not surface what you need, browse the relevant issue directly.
• Assuming a login is required. Nothing in the available site information indicates that reading articles requires an account. If you hit an access prompt, treat it as a site-specific condition to check rather than a general rule.

Quick reference

If you are new to the journal, begin with the latest issue to see the current range of topics, then move into the archive once you have a sense of what you need.
