Is being an Articling Principal or mentoring outside of an accredited study group, available for credit?
The Articling Principal, mentor, or paralegal who is supervising a field placement and the lawyer or paralegal being mentored may claim the hours spent on topics within the CPD definition. Credit for mentoring activities may be obtained toward the 3-hour ethics, professionalism and/or practice management requirement so long as the activities have been accredited by the Law Society of Upper Canada in advance. See CPD Accreditation Process for more information on the accreditation of Alternate Eligible Educational Activities.
