CALI

The Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction 

California School of Law students are given a membership to CALI, providing students with excellent study aids to reinforce the classroom lessons.

CALI has a license to access over 675 computer tutorials in 32 different legal subject areas for all students.

CALI's Lessons are authored by experienced law faculty and law librarians who teach in the subject area in which they write lessons.

CALI lessons are interactive with branches and feedback for every question. Students can take the lessons multiple times and see different questions or paths through the material.

CALI lessons are multimedia using text, video, audio, flowcharts, graphics and photos to teach complex areas of law.

CALI lessons break down complex topics into short, focused exercises.

CALI lessons keep score so the students can gauge their own progress and even save their scores on the CALI website  for faculty viewing.

CALI lessons are reviewed extensively by other faculty who teach the same subject, by faculty who teach other subjects and by experienced CALI staff who have been working in computer-mediated legal education for over many years. Based on student feedback (which is built into each lesson), we refine the clarity of the language and the double-check the accuracy of the materials in the lessons.
