Is there a cost for attending the lectures?
Entry is free but all guests are required to register before attending. Please find your local venue and register here.
Do the lectures attract CPD / CLE points for lawyers?
The lectures in Western Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and Queensland have been accredited by the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia, the Tasmanian Law Society, the ACT Bar Association and the Bar Association of Queensland as CPD activities and you can claim up to 1.5 CPD points for attending one of those lectures. Otherwise, you can claim up to 1.5 CPD points based on your own self assessment. Different circumstances apply in each State. See the flyer relevant to your location for further details.

I can’t make it to a lecture; will a recording be available online?
