About the event
The Law Society of Western Australia is pleased to host our annual CPD Day once again for Country Practitioners during Law Week.
Country Practitioners, more than most, understand the isolating impact of distance that can make it more difficult to get together in any one region as a profession, to share collegiality and support, and to learn from each other through tailored Continuing Professional Development initiatives.
This CPD Day is offered FREE to Law Society CPD Freedom and Law Society Country Members.
*‘Country Member’ means an Ordinary Member who ordinarily practices outside a radius of 80 kilometres from the Central Office of the Supreme Court of Western Australia, Perth.
