Alberta Law Libraries News 

Feedback Survey


Alberta Law Libraries (ALL) is looking for feedback from Alberta lawyers to direct and improve the library’s services. Whether you are a library user or not, ALL is interested in hearing from you in a 5–10 minute survey. At the end of the survey, respondents will have the option to enter a draw to win a prize provided by ALL. Please contact ALL for further information on where and how to complete the survey.


The survey will remain open until Friday, July 12, 2024. All responses will be collected anonymously and data will only be reported in aggregate.


If you are unfamiliar with ALL, this is a good opportunity to apply for a library account and familiarize yourself with their services to the bar.

ALL is also pleased to announce the release of their new Personal Injury Research Guide. This guide contains all of the tools that are essential to the practice of personal injury law in Alberta.
