Abstract
An article published in 2017 in the Canadian Bar Review challenges the requirement for a number of mandatory hours for continuing education for professionals, and suggests in return an approach based on "reflective practice". In the following article, we first propose to distinguish the terms "reflective practitioner" and "reflective approach", and then, through a review of the data made available online by the various law societies in Canada, we analyze the applicability of the e-learning community model to the continuing education of lawyers.
