CPD Requirements for LSS

Legal professionals in Canada require Continuing Professional Development to maintain their professional designation. Browse courses that meet your requirements, even find your Ethics/EDI hours, or choose one of our course packages, specially curated to contain all the hours and credits you need, in one place. The courses on LearnFormula may be counted towards professionally relevant, verifiable learning activities. It is the student's responsibility to validate whether an activity is an eligible educational activity for their professional development requirements based on their own learning needs.

Simplifying Regulations for 2026

Under the CPD policy, all active members are required to complete and report 12 hours of qualifying CPD within the calendar year.

Not less than 2 hours of the required 12 hours must pertain primarily to any one or any combination of the following topics (“Ethics Hours”):

Professional responsibility Ethics Practice standards The Code of Professional Conduct Conflict of interest Rules of the Law Society Client care and relations Practice management

LSS does not require CPD providers to be accredited with their organizations in order to offer CPDs to their members. The courses listed on LearnFormula are verifiable for CPD and can be counted towards the annual CPD requirement. It is up to the professional to determine whether the activity qualifies as eligible towards their CPD requirement.

Do Legal Education courses count toward LSS CPD?

Legal Education courses are built around relevant, verifiable content that can be applied toward LSS CPD hours. As with any provider, it remains the member's responsibility to confirm an activity fits their own professional development needs before claiming it.
