Other resources.

A search of only four Westlaw databases, ERIC (education related), CINAHL (Nursing and Allied Health), MAGINEX, and MAG-ASAP, revealed hundreds, if not thousands, of articles on supervision in the literature of other domains such as education, medicine, social work, counseling, and therapy. Other than some infrequent references in the legal literature, most of this work has not been read, collated, and made available to law teachers or supervision attorneys.
