2008/09 CPD Period Extended

In order to be as fair as possible to members of the profession who are having difficulty in complying with the timelines set out in the Rules and CPD Policy, the opportunity will be provided for practitioners to elect to apply CPD points earned up to and including 31 May 2009 to the 2008-2009 CPD period. Accordingly, practitioners who wish to take advantage of this extra time will be able to advise the Legal Practice Board on their practising certificate renewal application that they 'will have complied' with the requirements of the Rules and Policy by 31 May 2009. This extra time for compliance will only apply for this year. Practice Certificate holders are reminded that they may claim CPD points dating back to 1 April 2007 for the initial CPD period. A list of approved CPD QA providers and the points available is on the Legal Practice Board website.

Video Conference - a great success

Pilot Video Conference - Ethical Values in Litigation
“A very worthwhile event. I hope it is the first of many!”
Our pilot video conference held at the District Ceremonial Court in Perth was beamed live to metropolitan and regional courts on 10 December 2008. Of the 120 video conference participants the feedback we received was extremely positive. Evaluation feedback showed that 96% of participants enjoyed the experience and requested more seminars to be beamed live in 2009. “Great option for regional lawyers - worked well, more please!”
Our favourite comment from the pilot evaluation: “Thanks for making this available in Bunbury. Best to keep us lot off the roads!”
Many thanks to the Courts for making this event possible!
