These rules mandate that all legal practitioners must acquire a minimum of five (5) CPD credit hours annually to be eligible for Practice License renewal.

Event Details:
- Topic: Demystifying CPD & Practicing Certificate Requirements
- Date: Friday, June 27, 2025

The session promises to be an insightful guide, offering clarity on new obligations, addressing questions, and supporting legal practitioners in their professional development journey.
