Practitioners can get schooled in technology this season with a free online offering from the Law Society.

Opening online at 7am on Monday 2 December, the course runs until midnight on Thursday 12 December 2019 and those interested may now pre-register.

Mobile apps

Technology is becoming increasingly important in the world of legal practice, and there is a multitude of mobile apps that can be of benefit to solicitors.

The 12 Apps of Christmas online course will help solicitors learn about apps for tablet devices – in just six 30-minute sessions.  Three CPD points also accrue from completing the modules.

Lunch break

You can set aside some time on your commute, on your lunch break, or in the evening to participate in this instructional smart course in which you will learn about apps that can be used in your legal practice to assist you to embrace technology with tools that can make work and life easier and more effective. 

New content is released incrementally over the duration of the course which will allow you the flexibility to learn about apps in your own time and space and to share and draw on the knowledge and experience of your colleagues in our discussion forums.
