The Brief is an informal academic publication hosted by the Canadian Law Review (CLR), that hosts a space for legal advocacy and discussion. As opposed to our coveted Canadian Law Review Journal, the publication process at The Brief occurs much more frequently and features more condensed, current, and broad issues in Canadian law. From legal opinions on cases or proposed bills to discussions about recent or upcoming legal issues to analyses of Canadian legislative frameworks, we seek to inspire a future generation of legal scholars to think, research, and write. Each issue will feature 4-8 articles, with each article ranging in size, between 12-30 pages long, and featuring a variety of topics.

​

Our Summer Issues (August 1st publication release) feature topics related to Law, Legal Philosophy, and the History of the Law. Our Winter Issues (December 1st publication release) feature topics related to Public Law. Our Spring issues (April 1st publication release) feature issues related to Private law.
