About the Conference
The Armidale CLE Conference, now in its 66th 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.

Feedback
- It was a great conference with lots of practical knowledge and useful tips from the presenters.
- As usual good topical content, good opportunity to network, quite happy to attend in person.
- Great conference, thank you!
- Best value CLE around [apart from the free CLE our region arranges] but the networking is the real reason why Armidale is so valuable.
- Holding the conference on weekdays is preferred over the weekend and this change was a fantastic idea.
