LexisNexis, one of the leading legal and financial information providers, have announced the launch of their first webinar in mid-April. Intended for their legal professional clients, it will coincide with the launch of the 2007 edition of The Civil Court Practice or as it’s also known, the “Green Book”. The broadcast will feature a pre-recorded presentation on recent developments from the Rt Hon The Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury who is Editor in Chief, before the main three live lectures are shown. These will be panelled by Green Book senior contributing editor David Di Mambo as well as editorial board members David Greene and Master Leslie.

LexisNexis emerging products specialist, Ann Hemming said “e-learning has raised some interesting questions over how to provide additional value to our customers. LexisNexis believes that providing live and recorded webinars will offer our customers opportunities to interact with our editors and authors and gain CPD points in a convenient and cost effective manner”.

Viewers will be able to question the panel either during the live session or by submitting questions prior to the broadcast, furthermore LexisNexis inform us there will be the opportunity for users to gain two CPD points (a total of 16 is needed per year for certain legal professionals in England and Wales) if they stick around after the show and finish a series of multiple choice questions online.

Hemming joined LexisNexis in December last year with the remit of developing an e-learning strategy for the organisation also said, “Webinars are easy to access and will prove popular with legal professionals who will benefit greatly from the insight offered by our high profile speakers.”
