Professional development is important in any career but in the legal profession, it is critical. Whether you’re new to the Bar or a seasoned lawyer or judge, staying current on the latest developments in the legal profession can enhance both your practice and your career.
The professional development opportunities offered by the Canadian Bar Association run throughout the year and include conferences and webinars covering all practice areas.
The CBA’s live and on-demand webinars include:
- Skilled Lawyer Series for corporate lawyers and litigators
- Law Series, which covers a range of substantive topics for different practice areas
- Solution Series, which aims to help you work more productively and profitably
Whatever your area of specialization or stage of your career, you’re sure to find something to help you refresh your skills and renew your practice.
