Recent Legislation and Law Reform
The U.B.C. Law Review has recently added a Recent Legislation and Law Reform Section. These new additions to our journal are meant to bridge the gap between academic analysis and the practice of law.
The U.B.C. Law Review envisions that this section will include comments upon either recent legislation or law reform issues. Recent legislation may include new legislation or legislative amendments that have been enacted and/or have come into force. Submissions pertaining to recent legislation issues may describe and comment upon how recent legislation changes the existing state of the law and how it may be utilized in the future.
