Simplifying Regulations for 2026

All lawyers must complete at least 30.0 eligible hours of training during a 2-year reference period, 3 of which must be taken in ethics and professional practice or professional practice from a list of activities offered by the Quebec Bar. For Quebec lawyers, consider including courses as a CLE activity in your annual Continuing Education Obligation. Please note that all lawyers have to self-report CLEs to the Bar of Quebec.

The Barreau du Québec considers training activities to be eligible for continuing education where they "enable the member to acquire, maintain, update, improve and deepen the professional and ethical skills related to the practice of the profession". Distance learning courses are eligible training activities where they include: (a) interactivity, (b) the presence of exams or tests, (c) the presence of trainers, or (d) the combination of various educational supports and activities.
