CALI DVD Recycling Program

CALI sends out, literally, thousands of DVD's, every Fall; enough for all member law school's entire student body. We hope each school can distribute each and every disc to a student or faculty member, but we realize this may be impossible for some schools.

So to reduce environmental impact, CALI will pay for the recycling of leftover discs (up to 2 boxes, 20 lbs each).

CALI Lessons Used by Troops Overseas

Sarah Walton, professor of justice studies at the University of Maine at Augusta, is using CALI Lessons to teach troops in Afghanistan.

Now the 5,000-student college is reaching out to active-duty personnel stationed overseas. UMA will offer priority slots in five summer courses this year to a Maine Army National Guard unit stationed in Kandahar.
