A light catered meal will be served at each session. \nProfessional Development Credits \nEach session offers 1.5 hours of professional development credits. \nHow to Participate \nOnce you have paid your VBA membership fee (VBA registration can be completed here: https://vicbar.ca/membership-join/)\, please email Sean Finn at sfinn@jonesemery.com to register for this Inns of Court series. \nA valid security card is needed to access the courthouse afterhours\, so please visit the sheriff’s office at the courthouse to obtain at least two weeks beforehand. \nHow to get CPD Credit \nTo claim your CPD credits\, please: \n\nFind Law Society “Continuing Professional Development”\nSelect “Member Portal”\nEnter you information and the select ‘Login’\nUnder “Education” select “Continuing Professional Development (CPD)”\nType the group study name of “Inns of Court – Victoria” into the “Course/Group Study” name box (leave dates out as this is set up with a date range).\nSelect “Inns of Court Victoria Course (36 Credits) Jan.1 – December 31\, 2023” or something similar as the name is undergoing a slight change.\nDO NOT TYPE IN THE NAME OF THIS COURSE WHEN APPLYING FOR CREDITS.
