Q: What constitutes CPD and when did Paralegal
CPD™ begin?
A:
Our Paralegal CPD™ Programme began on 1st October 2005.
The Programme has been
designed to be as flexible as possible to take into account the
many calls on members´ time and pockets. Therefore CPD points
can be accumulated by:
Attending accredited
CPD courses
Presenting at law courses
Undertaking in-house
training
Documented legal research and/or legal writing
Studying a legal course
Undertaking any other
activities that clearly assist with your development as a legal
professional
Although attendance at
accredited CP courses is no longer mandatory, we still recommend
this as one of the best ways to accrue your points.
