All practising lawyers are expected to complete a minimum of 12 hours of professional development in each reporting year. The Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society does not formally accredit providers or pre-approve any programs for CPD reporting purposes. Instead, it is up to practising members to determine that the specific CPD activity meets the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society’s requirements. If so, practising members can claim the CPD activity in their annual CPD Plan.
According to the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society’s guidelines, eligible CPD activities must be relevant to the professional needs of a lawyer and preserves and enhances a lawyer’s knowledge or skills in the areas of:
substantive legal education and skills development; risk and practice management; and professionalism.
Legal Education courses are built around relevant, verifiable content that can be applied toward NSBS 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.
