Anywhere (probably in some high-level controller) you should be able to just bind a '$routeChangeStart' event to the $rootScope and do your check then:

$rootScope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function(next, current){
    if(next != '/login' && !userLoggedIn){
        $location.path( "/login" );
    }
});

This will get fired every time a new route is set, even on the first visit to the page.
