Continuing Professional Development
The Law Society has suspended the mandatory Continuing Professional Development (CPD) filing requirement for the profession from 2020 through May 2023. Suspending the CPD program allows the Law Society to refocus its thinking and dedicate resources toward the next phase of lawyer competency. We introduced the Professional Development Profile for Alberta Lawyers as the first step in the redevelopment of the CPD program. Lawyers are still encouraged to develop an annual CPD plan, whether on their own or by using the CPD planning tool through the Lawyer Portal.
