I now offer a complete range of training materials - a Beginners Guide and
two sets of Advanced Studies. Each course involves printed material as well as
online sessions, using a passworded area of my website. You do these in your own time.
Each course can be purchased either in a single user version or in the
multiple user/intranet version, allowing everyone in the organisation to take
the course and obtain the CPD from the Law Society or the Bar Council. Very low
cost CPD - and good fun too! I update the courses every 3 or 4 months, both the printed
version and the online materials, so they are always current.
Price is £50 plus VAT for the single user licence and £100 plus VAT for the
Intranet/Multiple User version i.e. anyone in the organisation can use the material and
obtain the CPD hours.
If you have direct web access, there is information about the Guide and Tutorials

The Black Lawyers Directory is the UK's online directory of Black and Ethnic Minority lawyers and the organisations

Whither the Legal Web?
Two of the UK's best known independent legal website authors, commentators and publishers have come together
to describe where the legal web is today and where it is going.
A new e-book by Nick Holmes and Delia Venables - with CPD
The e-book is published in two parts, with practical articles written by Nick and Delia and other leading
experts in their fields.
Part 1: Legal Information
Part 1, available since May, covers the public provision of law on the web and ongoing initiatives to
improve it: BAILII and the Statute Law Database, EU Law and the Europa site, the UK Parliament, e-Government,
access to justice, devolved parliaments and legislation, FOI and public sector information, how legal
publishing is developing and new technologies for accessing legal information on the web such as law blogs,
webfeeds and wikis.
Part 2: Legal Practice
Part 2, now available, covers the way that the web has affected Legal Practice – and will continue to affect it.
The opening article is by leading legal commentator Charles Christian on the transformation of communication.
This is followed by articles on managing email, electronic signatures, a virtual law firm, a virtual chambers,
practice developments made possible by the internet, e-government, harnessing web resources for knowledge
management, web marketing for law firms, web marketing for chambers, selling legal services online
(including for the corporate client), new risks, e-conveyancing and pro bono on the web.
CPD course
You can use the e-book as a course, at your convenience, with a straight forward test at the end to qualify for the CPD.
You can see the
Questions for Part 1 and
Questions for Part 2
although you will not be able to answer them
and obtain the CPD unless you have purchased the e-book or you are using a multiple use licence
purchased by your organisation. The questions will change from time to time.
Cost.
Each part costs £40 plus VAT and includes the use, by one person, of the e-book as a course, qualifying for 5 CPD
points per part. Both parts, if purchased together now, cost £60 plus VAT (Part 2 will be available in September).
This e-book is another "first" on the UK legal web for Nick and Delia!
Between them Nick and Delia have accounted for many UK legal web firsts over the last 10 years:
