CPD speakers are selected with reference to a number of factors, including one’s years of experience in practice, subject matter expertise, previous speaking experience, whether or not one can offer a unique perspective on a particular topic, etc. Note also that all prospective speakers who are also Ontario licensees are subject to a point-in-time review of their Law Society of Ontario regulatory history.
You may check in at the program registration desk. Most programs are held at the Law Society of Ontario in the Lamont Learning Centre on the first floor of the building.
In keeping with providing a safe environment for all staff and guests to the building, all persons accessing the Law Society of Ontario’s premises may be subject to a security screening. LSO licensees are reminded to have their Licensee ID/ID number with them at all times to avoid any delays on arrival for your program.
Your Program Planner will prepare ad copy for marketing the program in consultation with the Program Chair, presenters, and Marketing department. This information will be used to create a program registration page on the LSO Store.
The program will be advertised in the Ontario Reports and in several e-mails sent to members in the target practice area, as well as on social media (Twitter and LinkedIn).
After the program takes place, the archived webcast and materials will be available for purchase. Materials will be sent to all county law libraries in the province and to the National Library.
