Continuing Legal Education
Newfoundland and Labrador
Continuing Legal Education for lawyers in Newfoundland and Labrador is developed and delivered through a Joint
Committee of the Law Society of Newfoundland and the Canadian Bar Association, Newfoundland and Labrador Branch.
This Joint Committee on Continuing Legal Education has, as its goal, the provision of high quality legal education
programs which assist in keeping our members current and competent.
Lawyers in Newfoundland and Labrador continue to be enthusiastic and interested in Continuing Legal Education and
they continue to support our programming by their excellent attendance, positive feedback and suggestions for future
programs. We will continue to offer relevant, practical and useful programs in future to benefit our members.
The Joint Committee relies on the contributions of volunteer lawyers, judges and other professionals who give freely
of their time and talents, as presenters at our seminars, in order to enhance the knowledge and professional standards
of our practitioners. The Committee is greatly appreciative of these contributions and impressed with the excellence
and enthusiasm of our presenters.
