With the CPD deadline fast approaching, many
lawyers will be looking for ways to complete their annual
requirements. On this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show,
produced in partnership with LawCPD, we discuss why legal
professionals may find themselves scrambling to get their points in
and how best they can manage in the home stretch.
Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with LawCPD director Sarah Mateljan
about the various circumstances facing lawyers that may impact
their ability to accrue the requisite points, whether the
post-pandemic new normal has made things harder for lawyers, pain
and pressure points in finding time to get points, and practical
steps that can and should be taken to avoid overwhelming one’s self
in anticipation of the deadline.
The pair also detail how best lawyers can ensure they are ticking
the right boxes in accruing points, balancing their education
accordingly between capped and uncapped, how providers can help
lawyers keep an account of their points, what CPD sessions may
still be available so close to the deadline, what LawCPD is
currently offering, and how best lawyers can avoid the mad scramble
this time next year.
