Welcome to the Alberta Law Review Online

The Alberta Law Review is published quarterly by the Alberta Law Review Society, a nonprofit group of law students from the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary. The Alberta Law Review has been published continuously since 1955 and is the successor to the Alberta Law Quarterly which was established in 1934. The objective of the Alberta Law Review is to promote legal research and scholarship and to provide a forum for the discussion of contemporary legal issues. The Alberta Law Review now has a total Canadian and international circulation of over 2500.

The Alberta Law Review is grateful to the Law Society of Alberta, the Faculties of Law at the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary, and to its patrons and advertisers for their ongoing encouragement, support and assistance.

Call for submissions! A book that shaped your world

T.S. Eliot wrote that the “end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time,” and this is never more true than when we immerse ourselves in a book. A book is a journey that resides in stillness. If we are lucky, when we emerge from the stillness of reading the world around us has shifted.

In celebration of the Alberta Law Review’s fiftieth volume, the Book Review Editors invite alumni and friends to put aside for a moment the tremendous load of required reading that the legal profession imposes, and reflect briefly on a book that has shaped your approach to life and the law.

Submissions should be between 250-500 words. A selection will be published in Volume 50(4) and the rest will be published in the Online Supplement. Submissions will be accepted until March 1st, 2013 and can be sent electronically to bookreviews@albertalawreview.com.

General Call for submissions:

The Alberta Law Review is soliciting contributions for its upcoming general issues to be published in 2013 and 2014. Articles, case/legislation comments and notes, book reviews, or other manuscripts will be considered for review.
