We updated our Terms of Service on February 10, 2012. I know what you're thinking: "someone else telling me what I can't do on their site," right? Well, not quite this time. Read what we did and why we did it...

The theme for this year’s conference is "Some Assembly Required."

We are constructing our future, here in the present. We have many excellent technologies, but figuring out how to use them to serve the educational, scholarly, professional and public service missions of law school is an ongoing challenge.

I have a box of tissues on my desk that’s decorated like a bookshelf. My mother jokingly gave it to me when I started at CALI just in case I started to miss being surrounded by books all day. The thing is, though, I’m still surrounded by books all day.

We start the Spring semester with a surprise new feature for CALI Lesson users: lesson resume. Here’s a quick tour:

• The resume feature is automatic. If you leave a lesson by any means such as closing the browser or turning off the computer, you’ll be able to resume later…that is, unless you complete and finalize (more on that below).
• There’s an Exit & Resume Later link in the upper right that has the same effect as above.
• To resume a lesson in the same spot with the same score, login to cali.org and click “My Lesson Runs“ in the right hand menu.
• When you get to the end of a lesson, you’ll be given the option to complete and finalize your lesson. If you take this option, you cannot resume that lesson. You can, of course, run the same lesson again from the beginning. There’s also a “Complete the Lesson” link in the table of contents if you’d like to finalize your score prior to hitting the final screen.

Here’s a more detailed FAQ on the new CALI Lesson resume feature.
