The Armidale CLE weekend, now in its 63rd year, is designed so that NSW practitioners can fulfil their requirement for the current CPD year. There are 10 sessions designed to deliver 7 substantive law units and 3 compulsory subject units. In addition, the ethics session will also satisfy the Lawcover maintenance requirements.
