  Please note: Under the CPD Policy, watching a recorded version of a CPD activity is not itself sufficient to qualify for CPD hours. However, if a group of 2 lawyers or more watch a recorded version of a CPD activity together then it falls under the “study group” category in the CPD Policy and qualifies for CPD hours. The rationale behind this is that by watching it in a group it allows for discussion and questions (which the recorded version is otherwise lacking). Each lawyer who intends to watch the recorded version of the Webinar as part of a study group is required to register and pay for it in order to report CPD hours.
