Canadian Institute Of Resources Law

Since its establishment in 1979, the Institute has pursued a three-fold mandate of research, education and publication. The Institute initiates projects and responds to requests from the public and private sectors and from non-governmental organizations. As well as contributing to the work of governments, universities and the legal industry, the Institute assists the public by providing independent studies that are balanced, well-researched views of the legal problems involved in the management of natural resources. The Institute was incorporated on the basis of a proposal prepared by a Study Team convened by the Faculty of Law at the University of Calgary.
