CALI: Where and What

CALI (The Center for Computer Assisted Legal Instruction) is a non-profit consortium.  Most members are law schools in the US.  CALI focuses on computer legal instruction.  CALI is best known for its CALI lessons and tutorials, along with the CALI Awards (officially CALI Excellence for the Future Awards).  Almost all law schools in the US are members of the CALI consortium.

Where can you get access to CALI?  The easiest way is from the law library’s homepage.  You can access under “Quicklinks” then click CALI.  You will need to create your own CALI login if you haven’t already.  To create a CALI login click on the link for “Authorization Code” under “Quicklinks” and follow the steps.

All 1L classes are covered via CALI lessons as are the vast majority of upper level ones.  You can also look for lessons based on a casebook too. By searching by casebook, you can be assured that the lesson will be based o the same casebook used in your class.

As always, if you have any questions about CALI, Ask your friendly librarians.
