Do lawyers and paralegals still have to report the number of self-study hours they complete on their Annual Report?
Lawyers will continue to report annually on the Lawyers Annual Report the number of self-study hours they complete. Beginning in 2011, paralegals will report annually on the Paralegal Annual Report the number of self-study hours they complete. The minimum expectation for self-study hours remains at 50 hours. The number of hours is not mandatory, but reporting is. Reporting of self-study hours is not part of the CPD requirement.
