On a live matter
A point of law you had to get right
Researching a new line of case law for a client gives you something worth keeping. Record the learning, never the client details.
“How will this change my advice next time?”
Passport for solicitors, legal executives and paralegals
The matter that taught you something. The supervision conversation that changed how you work. Keep the learning that shapes your practice in a free personal Passport that moves with you, firm to firm.
Free personal CPD log. No card. No trial. Your record, not your employer's.
Learning happens between billable hours
Continuing competence is about how you keep your practice current, not a pile of webinar certificates. Give the real lessons somewhere to land.

“How will this change my advice next time?”
Supervising a trainee
Walking a trainee through a difficult completion shows you where your own process could be clearer.
“What did explaining this teach me?”
Facing an ethics question
A potential conflict or confidentiality question is worth reflecting on, long after it is resolved.
“Which competence does this build on?”
Illustrative learning situations, not customer stories. Keep client names, matter details and privileged information out of your entries.
Why keep your record here?
Use Quick Log and your personal QR shortcut to open your log on your phone. Return to the reflection when you have space to think.
Keep what you learned, how it applies and the difference it could make together. Your own words, at your own pace.
Private practice, in-house or a move into a new area of law: use the same personal account. Your employer does not automatically get access to your private reflections.
Attach certificates to CPD entries and export a PDF or CSV when you want a copy or something to share.
Small habits, meaningful learning
A case law update. A supervision session. Time reflecting on a tricky matter. Explore a monthly rhythm that keeps your learning steady, without a pre-declaration scramble.
Neither the SRA nor CILEX Regulation sets a fixed number of hours. The targets here are personal habits you can change, not regulatory requirements.
Read the SRA guidanceA suggested personal habit of 16 hours a year.
Your illustrative annual total
36 hours / year
That rhythm reaches a 16-hour year, with room to build on it.
A planning illustration, not a compliance check or saved CPD entry. Only relevant, completed learning with reflection belongs in your record.
Alongside your official record
Passport gives your learning, evidence and reflections a personal home. You still confirm your continuing competence through your regulator.
We do not submit records to the SRA or CILEX Regulation, or sync entries automatically. Follow your regulator's current guidance.
For practice managers and heads of learning
Bring firm-wide training and development conversations into one place. Passport for Teams gives you training oversight, while each lawyer's personal reflections stay private unless shared.
Organisation features require an eligible paid plan and authorised manager access.
