Government Agencies: Why and How Should We Join CALI?

Posted Mon, 10/12/2009 - 10:11pm by Austin Groothuis

CALI offers deeply discounted annual dues of $250 to government agencies.

To join CALI, just use this form or contact LaVonne Molde, Director of Membership Services: 612-627-4908, lvmolde@cali.org. 

We can offer your organization this dues discount because 1) we are a non-profit organization, 2) nearly every US law school is a member of our consortium, and 3) even though government agencies are an important part of the legal education community, we believe they are underrepresented in the CALI community.

This is what your government agency gets with a CALI membership:

CALI Lessons LogoCALI Lessons:
Unlimited, free access to lessons for all of your office's employees for simply $250/year.

Government Agencies may use CALI lessons for:

  • training new employees,
  • introducing employees to a new area of law;
  • refreshing employees' memories about certain areas of law or even basics of legal research like citation.

Access to this much law professor-authored material for the cost of a few books is a great investment for your government law office. Find out more about CALI Lessons. 

CALI Author: 
Trainers and managers can use CALI Author, the easy-to-use software we use to create CALI Lessons, to author their own lessons and edit current ones. Find out more about CALI Author here.

New CALI tools like InstaPoll integrate technology into legal education in easy-to-use and practical ways. And beta projects such as eLangdell (the logo above) and the Legal Education Commons represent the type of projects CALI will continue to undertake: forward-thinking endeavors designed to improve the practice of law and legal education in dramatic ways. As a member of CALI, you not only can access these exciting projects as they are unveiled, but you support their implementation and continued growth.
