CPD activities should cover at least one of the following knowledge and skills areas:
- legal knowledge and skills;
- advocacy;
- practice management;
- working with clients and others; and
- ethics, professionalism and judgement
When planning your CPD activity, you may wish to use the Professional Statement as a basis for considering what knowledge or skills you wish to develop further.
A non-exhaustive list of CPD activities includes:
- taking part in formal face-to-face training courses, including university courses;
- online courses;
- listening to podcasts;
- attending conferences;
- taking part in seminars or webinars;
- reading or research;
- authorship and editing of published works of a professional nature. This could include exam papers; substantial consultation responses; law reform proposals; professional updating e-zines / blogs;
- presenting seminars, lectures and workshops; and
- teaching a relevant legal course eg LLBs, LLMs, the GDL, BPTC, LPC or Diplomas in Law.
Activities undertaken overseas may count towards CPD.
