I like the expansive descriptions of possible scholarly works that appear on the Family Court Review's website. It's a journal at Hofstra University School of Law, and its web site is a good place to consider several different writing formats: Family Court Review.
A sampling, from the several discussions of scholarly vehicles, is reprinted below:
