Where can u find Academic references for things that are not in textbooks, i have used ABI, Factiva(Does it have academic references, cause they dont seem too), Business Source premier (not sure how to use), google scholar, and Extended Academic (dont know how to use)
I would appreciate any assistance

Considering that you are doing businessey / commercie subjects, you should have a look at the guides that the library has set up for each school in the university. Heres the link:

http://library.uws.edu.au/subjectGuides.phtml

The best way to figure out how to use the search thingos in the library is just to have a fiddle around with them.

as a general rule, we've been told that basically anything that's uses referencing and citations is an academic source

(not true in all cases, but if you stick to uni resources, anything with citations etc is an academic resource)

How do u reference Law Reviews, and are they academic

A Law Review is an academic commentary released usually by the Universities. They contain their ideals and responses to the law. Courts can often use them and you may want to put them into your assignment, although its likely that it is not appropriate in problem solving where you need primary sources such as legislation and cases, rather than the secondary such as textbooks and reviews.

Citing a review is very much like citing a case an example, however you write the author, title of the article, the year in brackets and then the volume number, review name and the page number

e.g. R Sackville, Why Do Judges make law? Some Aspects of Judicial Law Making, (2000) 5 UWSLR 59

(the example is from the UWS Law Review, others include MULR - macq, UNSWLR - new south etc....)
