Continuing Education for the Legal Profession

As of January 1^st, 1996, all advocates are required to continue paying attention to their education after the period of traineeship. Each advocate must attain training credits each year for his entire career. Advocates must attain 16 training credits, of which a minimum of 8 must be in an area related to the content of the profession or, as the case may be, in a legal area. Among others, this is possible by following education at an education institution that is recognised by the Netherlands Bar Association. The database Continuing Education for the Legal Profession contains the current, extensive course offer. The information included in the database is also of importance for those offering courses, teachers and other professional groups.
