The Alberta Law Review is a peer-reviewed law review or legal journal, published quarterly by the Alberta Law Review Society. The Society is a non-profit organization consisting entirely of students from both the University of Alberta Faculty of Law and the University of Calgary Faculty of Law.
The Law Review has published issues consistently since 1955. Nonetheless, its predecessor, the Alberta Law Quarterly, was established in 1934 by University of Alberta law students. Its purpose is to publish "articles, case comments, and book reviews authored by academics, practitioners and judges, in order to create a valuable dialogue within the legal profession." In 2016, the Alberta Law Review transitioned from a print-based subscription model to an online-based open-access distribution model.
