| The Federation of Law Societies sponsored its first continuing legal education program in 1974 in Halifax on the topic of "Refresher Course on Criminal Procedure." The National Criminal Law Program has run continuously since that time. The Federation's first National Family Law Program was held in Toronto in 1978. In 1988 the National Family Law Program was held in Montréal, beginning its regular cycle of alternate year programming.
A Federation program entitled "Recent Developments in Corporate and Commercial Law" was held in Banff in 1975. A combined Criminal and Family Law Program was held in Yellowknife in 1995.
The programs owe their ongoing success largely to the generous contribution of volunteer lawyers and judges from across Canada. Through their hard work and dedication, the programs provide valuable education and up-to-date reference materials for the profession and the judiciary on an entirely self-funded basis.
