CPD Information
BC | This course is eligible for accreditation.
ON | This program is eligible for accreditation.
QC | Please note, the concept of “recognition” or “accreditation” has been abolished. By doing this, the Barreau is trying to make it easier for lawyers to claim mandatory CLE credits without a formal accreditation process. It is now up to individual lawyers to determine the eligibility of a training activity and to declare the hours in their “Dossier de formation en ligne”.
