On April 1st, 2019, the Québec Bar made changes to the Regulation respecting compulsory continuing education for lawyers [PDF, French], responding favorably to several of the concerns raised by the AHQ, in particular in its communication [PDF, French] of December 17, 2018.
Among other things, the Québec Bar decided to abolish the system of individual recognition of a continuing education activity and henceforth, each member is simply required to declare in good faith, in their online training file, the training sessions in which they participated.
For more information, consult the AHQ communication [PDF, French] of November 27, 2019 or the guide [PDF, French] produced by the Barreau du Québec.
AHQ recognizes that the obligation of continuing education can sometimes be onerous for lawyers practicing outside Québec, and wishes to support its members. AHQ has compiled a list of courses recognized by foreign bar associations, which are automatically recognized by the Québec Bar, as well as a list of online courses (see below, in French).
AHQ plans to set up online training courses and invites its members to share their suggestions.
