Continuing Professional Development

Legislation and rules governing the legal profession require all solicitors holding a current Practising Certificate to undertake continuing professional development (CPD) activities.

Legal practitioners complete a minimum of 10 CPD units each CPD year (1 April to 31 March). Of those 10 CPD units, at least one must be in: ethics; practice management; professional skills; and substantive law.

Melbourne Law School hosts a range of events including public lectures, seminars and programs that may be counted towards your CPD.

The Melbourne Law Masters program offers single subject studies that are accredited by the Law Institutes of Victoria and New South Wales and the Victorian Bar. Legal practitioners undertaking a course or subject in the Melbourne Law Masters may be eligible to earn CPD points through their study.
