If you’re looking for substantive, Alberta-specific, legal resources, we’ve got you covered with LESA’s Practice Manuals.

Available Practice Manuals include:
- Alberta Civil Practice
- Alberta Family Law
- Alberta Foreclosure Forms

These resources are purchased as a subscription service. As updates become available they’re sent to you automatically and you’re invoiced for them at the time of publication. This way your materials are always up-to-date without you having the hassle of checking for updates yourself.
Two of these manuals have been recently updated and sent to subscribers: Alberta Civil Practice and Alberta Real Estate.
