The course is available to all NCA applicants who have been issued an Assessment Report from the Federation of Law Societies of Canada, as an optional learning tool.

Legal research and writing are fundamental skills required by all lawyers in Canada. To help better prepare students for Bar admission CPLED has developed the LRW course to provide students with valuable insights and best practices as well as an opportunity to receive feedback from trained assessors.
“The course provided an effective intro to drafting legal documents in Canada. Overall the course helped in building my confidence and polishing my skills.”

Students who successfully complete the LRW course and meet the admission requirements for CPLED’s Practice Readiness Education Program (PREP) and subsequently register for PREP, will be exempt from two PREP Foundation Modules.
