By December 31st of each year, members must log into the Law Society of New Brunswick membership portal and click on the Continuing Professional Development reporting link to report their Continuing Professional Development activities.

If the deadline is not met, the member may be granted an extension until April 1 of the following year to complete, report and certify compliance. A $200 (plus HST) late completion fee is automatically charged to members who have not met the requirements by December 31st.

A member who has not complied with these requirements by April 1st shall be suspended from practice until all required hours are completed, reported and certified.

Members must maintain documentation confirming all reported CPD hours for seven (7) years and may be required by the LSNB to produce these records at any time.

Members who are suspended for non-compliance of the Requirements will be required to pay both the late completion fee and the reinstatement fee prior to being reinstated.
