As a lawyer, knowledge is your business. And to grow and develop your business, you need to invest in it - in yourself and what you know. OBA professional development programming is an investment with immediate pay-back to your practice, giving you practical, cutting-edge information in a collegial setting.

Practice tips and traps, pragmatic solutions to complex problems, top strategies, best practices, recent case law, new legislation, invaluable precedents and checklists, and the opportunity to reflect on emerging issues with others in your field – these are among the reasons to join us for Sections and CLE programming. Many OBA programs originate in Toronto, including over 20 each year which are webcast simultaneously. We are also pleased to offer live regional programming in conjunction with local County and District Law Associations, as well as a variety of video replays across Ontario.

OBA programs are developed by practitioners for practitioners. Through its 35 Sections and 5 CLE Committees, OBA draws on the collective wisdom of over 750 practice area experts. Each year our educational programs feature close to 1,500 speakers – distinguished practitioners, members of the judiciary, government representatives, academics and experts in a wide variety of fields. OBA thanks these dedicated individuals for their contributions on behalf of the profession.

Our publications are available in print and online, and in a variety of audio/video formats, including audiotapes, audio CDs, CD-ROMs, online CLE (video streaming) and live webcasting. Our multimedia presentations offer full audio and video recordings of the presentations, plus all papers and PowerPoint presentations in digital format. Webcast registrants can interact with speakers by e-mailing in questions and comments throughout the program.
