Approved Providers

Approved providers are individuals or organizations accredited by the Law Society to provide Continuing Professional Development activities. Activities provided by the approved providers will constitute accredited CPD activities; however due to the nature of our database, approved providers are still required to provide the necessary information related to a CPD Activity by submitting a CPD Activity Application Form.  Or if the individual submitting the information on behalf of the Approved Provider is a Law Society member, they can submit the information within their Member Profile, rather than submitting a separate form. The member can simply click on “Cannot find activity” in their Member Profile, complete the required information and submit it to Law Society Administration. Once accepted by Administration, members can report their hours for the activity in their Member Profile

The following organizations are currently approved providers under the CPD policy:

• Saskatchewan Trial Lawyers’ Association;

PLEASE NOTE: The Law Society has ceased granting any additional organizations approved provider status.

The Law Society is happy to consider all CPD activities on an individual basis. Organizations must complete and submit a CPD Activity Application Form for each of the programs they wish to have approved. Or if the individual submitting the application on behalf of the Approved Provider is a Law Society member, they can submit the information within their Member Profile, rather than submitting a separate form. The member can simply click on “Cannot find activity” in their Member Profile, complete the required information and submit it for approval by Law Society Administration.
