Updated for 2011:

In his inimitable style Geeklawyer trashes the need for CPD for barristers: “let’s bin the **** rubbish” (link no longer working).

That pending, he recommends using a cheap online CPD provider. I couldn’t agree more. By far the best value in town are the current Legal Web CPD courses which Delia Venables and I have compiled. Legal Web Resources and Legal Web Issues 2011. Each is £80+VAT and qualifies for 5 hours; purchased together they cost £120+VAT and qualify for 10 hours.

Like Geeklawyer, you can earn your CPD from your armchair, suitably festively fuelled.
