Is being an Articling Principal or mentoring an eligible educational activity?
The Articling Principal, mentor, or paralegal who is supervising a field placement and the lawyer or paralegal being mentored may claim the time spent discussing substantive or procedural law topics that maintain or enhance learning and ability. Professionalism credit for mentoring may be obtained so long as the topics of professional responsibility, ethics and/or practice management are covered and the activity has been accredited by the Law Society in advance. See CPD Accreditation Process for more information on the accreditation of Alternate Eligible Educational Activities.
