Library Christmas Party
Thursday, December 19, 2019
All Day!

Okay, there won't be a live jazz band but we can play some nice, cheesy music if that's important. What is important, though, is that our event is ALL DAY and features coffee, hot cider and a dizzying array of delectable, sugar-loaded cookies, squares and tarts, all HOMEMADE by the library staff. It's our way of thanking you for using the library over the past year and we'd love to see any MLA members who can drop by that day.

CPD-Save the Dates

Please check here regularly for dates of upcoming MLA-CPD seminars. As well, we we will provide links to some non-MLA CPD seminars that will be held in the London area. For those links, registrations should be placed with the body organizing the event as these are not Middlesex Law Association seminars.

Middlesex Law Association Videos Available on CPDonline.ca

If you cannot attend our MLA programs, or if you have a conflict, or we don’t offer programming for your specific practice area, or you need a few extra hours, consider purchasing an individual subscription from www.CPDonline.ca. 

CPDonline.ca is an on-demand CPD video website. They have hundreds of hours of LSO accredited programming, substantive and professionalism including EDI, in virtually all practice areas.

CPD Online Deal for MLA Members Ending Soon

Since 2018, our MLA members received a great discount rate of $199 + HST (50% off the original price) for unlimited access to this extensive, accredited video library. To date, 36 members have taken advantage of our discount code, MiddlesexCPD, when signing-up with CPDonline.ca.  In turn, CPDonline.ca has shared $100 per discount code user with us, totalling $3,600!

Our members have used the most discount codes of any county law association in Ontario! Please note that this money is in addition to the revenue sharing (approximately $4,500 in 2018) we receive when CPDonline.ca videotapes our in-person programs and sells them to users across the country.

This 50% off discount code, MiddlesexCPD, is ending as of January 1, 2020.  MLA members can still purchase an Individual Subscription  https://www.cpdonline.ca/subscribe at the discounted price of $199.00 up to Dec 31, 2019. Please note that subscriptions run on the calendar year, so any new subscriptions will be for the balance of 2019.  

Even though the original prices take effect January 1, 2020, CPDonline.ca will continue to be an excellent partner. The MLA will receive $100.00 per new subscriber, and 100.00 per renewal. This guarantees a healthy, and ongoing, revenue stream for our association. So, sign-up now for the “rest of your hours”, or up to 6 hours of solo watching (I hope not!) 

 For more information, e-mail Paula Puddy at cle@middlaw.on.ca or call 519-868-6771.
