Is writing and/or editing an eligible educational activity?
Yes. The content must be law-related and within the CPD definition, must have been prepared solely by the person seeking reporting the activity, and intended for publication or use in course materials, rather than for personal use or primarily for marketing purposes. Editing legal texts or case reports and for preparing case headnotes, with the same restrictions as set out for writing, is an eligible activity. There is no limitation on the audience for whom the work is written. Only volunteer or part-time writing is eligible. Writing as part of full-time or regular employment is not eligible. In order to qualify for professionalism credit, writing and/or editing activities must address topics of professional responsibility, ethics and/or practice management and be accredited in advance by the Law Society of Upper Canada. See CPD Accreditation Process for more information on the accreditation of Alternate Eligible Educational Activities.
