I've come upon law review issues before that have failed to be indexed by Index to Legal Periodicals but I've just noticed that no issues from vol 50 (1998) of Florida Law Review are indexed, either online in ILP or in the paper ILP. Seems rather a shame for the editors and authors who labored to create that law review volume. I've noticed issues before that didn't get indexed in Legal Resource Index, so it's not perfect either. This does present a problem when I rely on article counts from ILP to calculate a journal's impact-factor. When I have doubts about the count of articles for a particular year I'll try to double-check from some other index or full-text source but I must admit that incomplete indexing data is a methodological issue with calculating impact factors
