Whither the Legal Web? Part 1

An e-book with CPD by Nick Holmes and Delia Venables
Questions to be answered for CPD

Purchasers of Whither the Legal Web? Part 1 who wish to earn 5 CPD points should complete and submit the form below to Delia Venables once they have read the e-book. (Questions for Part 2 can be found here.)

I am normally able to send you the reply within 2 working days. However, occasionally there are computer problems or I am even on holiday! If you wish to check on the latest situation with respect to possible problems or delays, please see The Problems Page.

Note that these questions are not on substantive issues of the law but are straightforward questions about the topics and sites described in the e-book and are designed to show that you have indeed read the book and visited the principle sites described.

We will change the questions from time to time, so make sure that you are accessing the most recent set of questions when you come to take the test. The last changes to these questions were made on November 11th.

Note that most of the questions are "doubles" requiring two bits of answer. Do not worry about the precise style or format of the answers - the questions will be marked by a human being (i.e. Delia) not a machine!
