CPD Details
Points: [1.5] | Suggested CPD category: Substantive Law (SL)
The system of self-assessment underpinning the CPD scheme requires individual practitioners to determine the number of units for which they will claim credit (see the Queensland Law Society CPD Guide).
Accordingly, the Learning and Development team have only suggested a CPD category. A practitioner may decide that another category is more appropriate.
