Each month 16 multiple-choice questions are published on www.new-law-journal.co.uk, based on eight selected articles published in New Law Journal over the preceding month.
The questions are designed to ensure that you have read and understood a broad range of issues in relation to the law.
Answer the questions by clicking the box next to the answer you believe to be correct and pressing the "submit" button to send your answers for marking.
Successful completion of the exercise will gain you two CPD hours. You will be notified on-screen immediately.
You must answer all questions correctly to be awarded CPD hours. You will only be able to submit answers once.
The questions remain on the website for one month.
You will be able to access your own personal CPD record, which will give details of the number of CPD hours you have been awarded. You can simply print out and submit this record to the Law Society or the Bar Council.
The CPD service is completely secure, so you will need to register before you begin to use it. New users may register here.
