Upcoming Webinars
You can find recently recorded webinars on our Vimeo channel. If you plan to review a previously recorded course for CPD credit, it is your responsibility to ensure that your review of the course meets the Law Society of BC’s criteria for Approved Education Activities found here.
This course, which is eligible for CPD credit, is a series of videos that demonstrate how to plan a research strategy and employ specific research skills. In the videos we show you how to use popular legal research tools that are free (CanLII) or that you can use for free at the BC Courthouse Libraries. The research tools highlighted in this course are tools relevant to the legal topic.
Take the course (including self-assessment quiz questions) on the Law Society Online Learning Centre.
Open configuration options Earn CPD with our free Study Kits on professional ethics Our study kits have been put together to assist you in completing your BC Lawyers’ Continuing Professional Development credits. These three kits count towards the CPD requirement for professional responsibility and ethics, client care and relations, or practice management. They are designed to be done in groups of two or more lawyers. Think of it like a book club for lawyers – we’ve gathered some articles and in some cases a scenario for you to review that highlight potential areas of concern or interest for lawyers in practice. We’ve then set out a list of potential questions relating to the material you’ve read. We suggest that you meet for one to two hours.
To access these Study Kits, you must be logged in.
Tours and training are available by appointment in our Vancouver, Kamloops, Kelowna, Nanaimo, New Westminster, Prince George, and Victoria branches.
Please contact the library branch directly or training@courthouselibrary.ca to make an appointment.
