2014 has been a busy year at LESA.
In CPLED, we’ve held 4 online modules and 3 face-to-face sessions since August, with 478 students registered in the program – that’s more students than any other year!
Our schedule of live events has also been full, as we’ve offered 27 professional development seminars in the past 4 months, including programs for legal support staff, general skills and knowledge programs for all practitioners, and seminars in the areas of business law, family law, litigation, and real estate.
We’ve also kept busy working to develop educational resources you can access from home or the office. We’re probably most excited about the new seminars on demand that we’ve been able to bring to you this year! With 6 seminars on demand currently available and more coming in the new year, we hope you enjoy being able to download seminar papers and stream video recordings of LESA presenters for select seminars that you were unable to attend in person.
Here at LESA we’re taking a short break over the holidays to catch our breath after the whirlwind of the past few months and all the activities that come part and parcel with the start of the new educational year each fall.
We’re closing the office on December 24 and reopening January 2. So if you have anything you’re dying to ask us, make sure you give us a ring or send us an email in the next day or two. Or, if we don’t hear from you now, we’re as happy as always to help you with whatever you need in the new year.
Speaking of the new year, we’ve also been busy over the last few months planning for all the exciting products and services we’re bringing you in 2015.
In CPLED, we’re kicking off the year with the Oral Advocacy face-to-face module and the Practice Management online module.
We also have 4 exciting professional development seminars running in January – Advanced Lender, Matrimonial Property Division, Running Your First Trial, and Labour and Employment. Some of these seminars have only a few spots left available! Also stay tuned for information about our upcoming 48th Annual Refresher: Wills & Estates happening April 19-21 in Lake Louise. Brochures outlining the session topics for the Refresher will be hitting your desks in the new year.
And as for print educational resources, we’re bringing you updates to the Alberta Real Estate Practice Manual and the Alberta Civil Practice Manual early in 2015. A new publication for wills and estates that will amalgamate and update existing LESA publications to reflect the new legislation coming into force in this area is also in the works to launch in 2015.
Also keep an eye to our website for upcoming seminars on demand. Collections for Legal Support Staff and Evidence Law Refresher will be available online in January.
We know this might be a lot to keep track of, and we don’t want you to miss any updates you’d like to know about, so why not subscribe to our E-Letter? With an email once a week or so, the E-Letter is a great way to keep in touch with what’s going on at LESA.
LESA is proud to be your lifelong partner in continuing legal excellence, and, although we’ve had a busy year working to offer you all these programs and resources, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
We know you’ve all had a busy year too! Hopefully you have a chance to take a break and enjoy the festivities of the season.
Happy Holidays!
