Are CALI Lessons as useful to Faculty as they are students?  You bet your sweet assessment they are!

CALI Lessons have a reputation as being "just a study aid" for law students.  While that is indeed a function that they serve, they can also be a powerful assessment tool for faculty. 

Earlier today I caught a tweet from Law Librarian and Professor Shaun Jamison about his Future of Law course.

CALI is pleased to welcome the Legal Scholarship Blog to our Classcaster network of blogs, websites and podcasts.  From their announcement:

A2J Author® software—developed by IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law and CALI®, the Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction—has advanced to the final round of the international Hague Institute for the Internationalisation of Law (HiiL) 2014 Innovating Justice Awards. A2J Author finished in the top three among 14 other global innovations in the "Successful Innovations" category, which recognizes initiatives that are already making a difference.

The Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI) is seeking nominations of qualified and enthusiastic individuals to fill vacant positions on its Board of Directors. If you know of someone who would like to contribute to the research and development, strategic planning and governance of CALI, then consider nominating them for the CALI Board of Directors.
