Dear Esteemed Colleagues,
CPD for lawyers means Continuing Professional Development.
It refers to the ongoing education and training that lawyers must undertake after they are called to the Bar to maintain, improve, and broaden their legal knowledge, skills, and professional standards throughout their careers.
Key points about CPD for lawyers :
It usually involves attending approved NBA- ICLE Courses, seminars, workshops, webinars, and publishing articles.
The goal is to ensure that lawyers stay current with legal developments, enhance their competencies, and uphold professional ethics.
In many jurisdictions (including Nigeria, under the NBA-ICLE), CPD is mandatory and lawyers are required to earn a minimum of 5 CPD or CLE points/credit within a set period (often annually).

Thank you.
Sarah Omega Ajijola
Director, NBA- ICLE.
