Solutions · Legal
A lawyer admitted in three places is running three rulebooks at once.
Different cycles, different specialty categories, different carry-over rules, and an activity that counts fully in one place and partially in another. aircpd applies each jurisdiction's rules to the same activity and shows what is still missing under each.
The shape of the problem
Legal is the clearest example of the same person being measured several ways at once. Admission in more than one jurisdiction is common, and the rules rarely line up: one place counts hours over three years, another over two, one demands categories the next has never heard of, one allows carry-over and the next forbids it.
Firms respond by employing someone to track it, usually in a spreadsheet, usually reconciling provider certificates by hand. And a growing number of jurisdictions have moved away from counting hours altogether, toward an annual declaration that you have remained competent, which is harder to evidence rather than easier.
Running underneath all of it is anti-money-laundering training, where supervisors have repeatedly found the same thing: the training was inadequate, the records were worse, and the two failures arrived together.
How the rules vary
Where aircpd helps
One activity, scored against every rulebook.
A single seminar can count fully in one jurisdiction, partly in another and not at all in a third. aircpd works that out instead of a CLE administrator working it out.
Gaps surface early.
Specialty credit shortfalls, the ethics hour nobody has done, the technology credit that was introduced last cycle. Visible in month three rather than in the last fortnight of the cycle.
In-house sessions captured at the door.
Publish an internal seminar, generate a QR code, and attendance files itself into each attendee’s record for them to confirm.
A declaration with evidence behind it.
Where the regulator asks you to declare continuing competence rather than count hours, aircpd gives the declaration a year of recorded activity and reflection to stand on.
“One legal regulator reported that of the firms it found non-compliant on anti-money-laundering inspection, nearly half were given direction on training and on maintaining training records.”
Who this is for
Every jurisdiction's rules applied to the same activity, gaps visible early, and a competence declaration with a year of evidence behind it.
