Supervision Legal and Ethical Issues Parts I, II, and III
This course meets the qualifications for continuing education credit
in Law and Ethics for LMFTs and LCSWs as required by the California
Board of Behavioral Sciences.
Dear Member:
Due to member demand, supervision self-study tests have been created
by Richard S. Leslie, J.D. These tests are offered in three parts, with
each one providing two hours of continuing education credit. A
supervisor, or even a person who is not currently supervising, may take
any single test, two tests, or all three tests. The completion of all
three tests, which may be purchased as a package, satisfies the
requirement for supervision coursework or training for those who are
supervising MFT Interns and Trainees.2
Further, this content is unique in that it may also be used to
satisfy, when all three parts are completed, the ongoing requirement of
six hours of continuing education in Law and Ethics. Those who are
contemplating supervision of Interns and Trainees may wish to take the
tests to gain a better understanding of whether or not supervising
Interns and Trainees is “right” for them, or to prepare them
for this important aspect of professional practice. Meeting this
requirement in advance of any supervision eliminates the need to act
quickly once supervision actually begins.
Like the other tests, this series of continuing education
self-assessment tests is sponsored by CAMFT in partnership with Richard
S. Leslie, J.D., who created this series at the request of CAMFT. THERE
ARE NO PASSING OR FAILING SCORES. Here is how it works.
- Take the test by answering true or false to each question.
- Take the test online. . There is a $35 charge for
the test and you can pay with your credit card by filling in the
requested information. Please Note: Once you make
your online payment you have five hours available to take the test;
after five hours the test will not be available to you online. In order
to complete the test you will have to call CAMFT at (888) 892-2638 and
request the test be sent to you by fax or e-mail.
- CAMFT will send you the answers (including explanations), an
evaluation form, and a certificate of course completion. You will earn
two hours of self-study CE credits in Law and Ethics.

Make sure you have included your name and credit card information;
the cost of the test is $35. (Take all three tests at the same time
and pay a reduced price of $90.00).

evaluation form, and a certificate of course completion. You will earn
two hours of self-study CE credit in law and ethics.
There is no need to feel intimidated or embarrassed if you are not
confident of the correct answers. You grade yourself. The goal is for
you to learn what you know and what you don't know.A review of the
evaluation forms submitted by prior test takers indicates unequivocally
that participants find the tests to be an effective and valuable
learning tool.
Remember, if you enjoy this manner of improving your understanding of
legal and ethical issues, you may acquire more than six hours in law and
ethics and/or supervision. At this time, you are limited to a maximum of
18 hours in self-study per license renewal period, but that may soon
change. If that change takes place, all required hours of continuing
education may be gained by what is now referred to as self-study.
Contact CAMFT for further information.
We respectfully request that the answer sheet(s) you will receive not
be shared without written permission. The tests and answers are

proprietary nature of this material. We encourage and look forward to
your participation.
Sincerely,
