Twelve hours a year, three of them professionalism and one of those EDI. Every course here states what it counts for, taught live by practising paralegals, lawyers and a sitting Deputy Judge of the Small Claims Court, and recorded every time.
The 2026 programme, plus 2025 sessions still available as recordings. Each card shows the CPD hours it carries.

No courses match. Clear a filter to see the rest.
Hours shown are the Law Society accreditation each course page states, read on 12 September 2026. EDI hours count inside the three professionalism hours, they are not a fourth requirement. Your Law Society record is the one that counts.
Every licensed Ontario paralegal owes the same three things each calendar year. Everything on this page is about covering them without spending December hunting for an accredited hour.
Any format. Live sessions, recorded sessions, reading and study all count, as long as the content is relevant to your practice.
At least 1 hour of those three has to address equity, diversity and inclusion. The EDI hour sits inside the three, it is not a fourth requirement.
Hours are counted by calendar year and reported to the Law Society in the first quarter of the year after. Nothing carries forward.
Substantive hours do not need Law Society accreditation. Professionalism and EDI hours do. Every professionalism and EDI hour listed on this page is accredited, and each course page states its own accreditation in full.
Every figure on this page was read from the Law Society of Ontario on 12 September 2026. Your own record is the one that counts, and hours are reported in LSO Connects. The requirement and how to report it, at lso.ca.
Four courses carrying 14 hours, 4.5 of them accredited professionalism and 1 of that EDI. That is the entire Law Society minimum, cleared in one purchase, with room to spare on every line.

Canadian dollars, for all four courses.
Six practitioners, every one of them still in practice. Between them they cover the Landlord and Tenant Board, Small Claims Court, the Human Rights Tribunal, Provincial Offences and the Highway Traffic Act.

Two more instructors teach one 2025 recording each: Dante Spadacini and Antonio Urdaneta.
Every course runs as a live online session with the instructor. The recording lands in your account afterwards at no extra cost, so a booking you cannot attend is not a booking you lose.
Your certificate is generated once every lesson in the course is marked complete. It carries the course title and the duration, and downloads from your account.
Each course page carries its own CPD Credits block saying exactly how the Law Society has accredited it, and how it counts for the CICC and other law societies where it applies.
Recordings and course materials stay in your account for the access window stated on the course page, so a course you took in April is still there when a file needs it in November.
Four short pieces from LPEN on how the Ontario paralegal requirement actually works.
The requirement in full: what counts, what has to be accredited, and how reporting works.
Which of your hours need Law Society accreditation and which do not.
The one hour paralegals most often reach December without, and what qualifies for it.
Options that still work in the last weeks before the December deadline.
Twelve hours of CPD in each calendar year, to keep your licence in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario. Three of those hours must be accredited professionalism, and at least one of the three must address equity, diversity and inclusion. The remaining nine are substantive and do not need accreditation.
Hours must be completed by December 31 and reported through LSO Connects by March 31 of the following year. Fail to report by March 31 and you are in default.
Yes. Watching a recorded or on demand session on your own is an eligible CPD activity under the Law Society requirement, and there is no annual cap on how many of your hours come that way, as long as the content is relevant to your practice.
Every LPEN course is recorded, so a course whose live date has passed is still available and still counts.
Professionalism and EDI hours must be accredited by the Law Society. Substantive hours do not. Each LPEN course page states its own accreditation, and the split for every course on this page is on its card above.
Trauma-Informed Advocacy: Ethical Advocacy, Client Dignity, and Effective Practice, October 20, 2026. One hour, $30, and the whole hour is accredited EDI. It is also included in the Ontario Paralegal Pass. See the course.
Your certificate is generated once the course recording has been added to your account and every lesson is marked complete. It carries the course title and the duration, and downloads from your dashboard. A step by step guide sits under My courses in your account.
Four of the eight 2026 courses are in the Ontario Paralegal Pass, and between them they clear the full Law Society minimum. The other four are bought individually.
The 5 courses from 2025 are outside the pass. They are bought individually and stay watchable until December 31, 2027.
Every 2025 paralegal course on this page is yours to watch until December 31, 2027. The recording and the course materials stay in your account until then, so a course you take now still counts for this reporting year and is still there next year when a file needs it.
Yes. The course stays on sale and you get the recording and the materials in your account. What you lose is the chance to ask the instructor a question on the day.
Any course on this page can be taken as a recording, so the constraint is your time rather than the calendar. If the gap is the EDI hour, that is one hour and $30. If the gap is larger, the pass covers 14 hours in four courses.
Take the four course pass, which covers the whole minimum on its own, or pick the courses that fill your own gaps.
