CPD ACTIVITY APPLICATION FORM

To check if a CPD activity has already been accredited by the Law Society, go into the CPD Hours section of your Member Profile and click on "Browse Activities". If the CPD activity you are searching for is not listed then it has not been accredited. In that case, you will need to submit an application to have the activity accredited by the Law Society.

     

 REPORTING CPD HOURS

The Law Society of Saskatchewan has introduced a Continuing Professional Development Policy which took effect January 1, 2010. Under the CPD Policy, members are required to report their own CPD Hours online through their Member Profile. Just a reminder, when reporting your CPD hours you are only entitled to report the actual number of hours that you attended/participated in the CPD activity. This means that if you only attended a portion of a CPD activity (ie. you came late, left early, etc.), you report the actual hours you were there as opposed to the maximum hours the CPD activity is approved for. The Law Society is conducting random audits to monitor this issue. To report CPD Hours:

1. Click on the Member Profile button in the bar at the top of this page.

2. You will be prompted to enter your login information (which was provided to you by the Law Society in November of 2009).

3. After logging in, click on the CPD Hours button in the bar at the top of the page. This will take you to the CPD Hours section of your Member Profile. Click on the Help button in the upper right corner of the page for assistance in completing the reporting process.
