Services to the Public

Members of the public are welcome to conduct legal research by visiting Alberta Law Libraries (ALL) or registering to access some of our resources remotely. 

The libraries provide access to a wide array of electronic legal research tools and a collection of print materials essential to the practice of law in Alberta. In addition to case law and legislation from across Canada, the libraries hold a broad range of legal treatises, law periodicals, loose-leaf services and continuing legal education materials.  

Residents of Alberta who register with the library can access legal books and digital materials for free online. Access is generally for three months. See details at E-Resources. 

Library staff are here to help you! 

Library staff can help you in your legal research. We can guide you through the library materials and databases and help you find materials related to your case.
