Legal Web ebooks with CPD for 2008/2009

The Legal Web is a series of online ebooks published in pdf on this site by Nick Holmes and Delia Venables. Each year we publish two new, topical and up-to-date ebooks. The 2008/2009 ebooks are available now.

Each ebook contains 5 chapters, with practical articles written by Nick and Delia and many other leading experts in their fields, covering all aspects of legal information and legal practice affected by the web.

Read the ebooks on screen, with live web links, or print off in chapters for armchair reading; then answer a simple online test at the end to qualify for CPD.

Earn 5 hours CPD per ebook

Associated with each ebook is a set of 10 questions which may be answered online by purchasers and submitted to earn 5 hours CPD for either the Bar Standards Board or the Solicitors Regulation Authority. The questions are set and marked by Delia Venables.

Each ebook costs £60 plus VAT and qualifies for 5 CPD hours. A multiple use licence, suitable for organisations with several people likely to use the ebook and including up to 5 CPD courses, costs £150 plus VAT for each course.
