It’s that time of year again. Your Continuing Professional Development Plans are to be declared by March 15, 2012.
Here are LESA’s top five suggestions for meeting your CPD requirements.
1. Take a LESA Seminar.
We are proud of the live events we offer. You can find seminars in every practice area and for all levels of experience. We also offer practice-based workshops to help you improve your advocacy skills or your proficiency with interviewing and advising. Information about our live events can be found here.
2. Take an online LESA course.
LESA has a number of offerings online, from webcasts on ethical issues and negotiation strategies to audio recordings of some of our popular seminars. In particular, check out the audio recording of our sold-out seminar “Drafting and Practice Considerations Under the Wills & Succession Act,” which brings you the most current information on this new legislation.

3. Volunteer for us.
Volunteering for LESA can count toward your CPD requirements, and can be a great way to pass on your legal expertise in a mentorship capacity. We need all kinds of volunteers throughout our programming year – from lecturers to panelists to program chairs. We even need actors from time to time! Please contact us if you’re interested in contributing to the LESA community.
4. Write for us.
All of our seminar materials are prepared by volunteers. On top of that, we also have need of subject matter experts to help us create our educational resources and to communicate changes in legislation. If you enjoy writing and sharing your knowledge and experience, we need you! And if you’re interested in contributing to our blog, we can talk about how we can include you in our online community.
5. Review for us.
As legislation changes, we need to change with it. Therefore, we always have need for great legal minds to help us ensure our information is up-to-date and accurate. Please contact us (link) if you would be interested in helping us communicate the latest in your practice area.
