The University of British Columbia Law Review is a peer-reviewed journal published by the University of British Columbia Law Review Society. It was first published in 1949 as a collection of student essays entitled the UBC Legal Notes. A decade later, the Legal Notes officially became the UBC Law Review. The student editorial staff publish the biannual Review, as well as the TSL and the TFSL.

The Law Review publishes articles, case comments, and book reviews from across the spectrum of legal discourse. However, this broad mandate is informed by a considered emphasis on Canadian subject matter, with a concentration on British Columbia law and Asia-Pacific legal issues. Contributors to the Law Review include academics, judges, lawyers, and students. Recent issues have featured articles discussing, for example:

Legal Aid Delivery Models in Canada;

Aboriginal Title And Section 88 Of The Indian Act;

Reform to the Law of Corporate Groups in Australia to Protect Employees.

The Table of Statutory Limitations, was first published in 1955 as part of the UBC Legal Notes. Today, it is a separate, loose-leaf publication containing verbatim limitation periods for the Revised Statutes of British Columbia. In 1999, the UBC Law Review Society commenced the compilation of the Table of Federal Statutory Limitations, which contains verbatim limitation periods found in federal statutes and regulations.
