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]] [[University of Alberta Faculty of Law|Faculty of Law]] and the [[University of Calgary]] [[University of Calgary Faculty of Law|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.

The ''Law Review'' is unique from other law reviews in Canada in that it is operated by students from two law schools, whereas other reviews are typically staffed by students of one school. The editorial board is chosen from second year law students by the Editors-in-Chief. The University of Alberta editors elect two Editors-in-Chief and the University of Calgary editors elect one Associate Editor-in-Chief. The activities of the Law Review are funded partly by subscriptions world wideworldwide and through funds provided by the [[Law Society of Alberta]].

The work of the ''Law Review'' is conducted primarily at the Hon. W. A. Stevenson House,<ref>{{Citecite web |url=http://www.albertalawreview.com/about/stevenson.htm |title={title}University of Alberta: Alberta Law Review |access-date=2009-09-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090807044900/http://www.albertalawreview.com/about/stevenson.htm |archive-date=2009-08-07 |deadurl-url=yes |dfstatus=dead }}</ref> located in the University of Alberta's East Campus Village.
