Attend CALIcon23 to help forge the future of legal education

What is CALIcon?
The CALIcon Conference, also known as The Conference for Law School Computing®, is one of the longest-running legal education conferences in the United States. The conference brings together law school faculty, librarians, IT professionals, and administrators to share ideas, innovations, experiences, and best practices in legal education/technology that you can use at your law school. It is eclectic, engaging, and fun.

Accepting Session Proposals for CALIcon23

For 2023 we are planning the conference as an in-person, live event. We will gather at Penn Carey Law School in Philadelphia PA on Thursday and Friday, June 15 - 16, as well as providing a live stream of the full conference. We're combining the formula that we've used the past couple of years with our tried and true structure that worked well for us prior to 2020. This means that we're going to have 60-minute long sessions with thirty-minute breaks between sessions. Each session will consist of up to 3 15-minute talks with 15 minutes for discussion. We're also accepting 30 and 45-minute-long proposals to accommodate more in-depth talks and panels.

Introduction to Texas Rules of Form (the "Greenbook")

This lesson will help you master legal citations using the Texas Rules of Form, Fifteenth Edition (hereinafter “The Greenbook"), particularly with respect to specific rules of citation for your briefs and legal memoranda. The Greenbook at times refers to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, Twenty First Edition (hereinafter “The Bluebook”), so you may also want to have that handy for use during this lesson.

This lesson is an overview of how to research international patent law. It will cover both how to find sources of patent laws for countries besides the United States, and how to find sources of multi-national laws, such as treaties and other agreements, that govern the enforcement and regulation of patents between countries.

New CALI Lesson: Cases & Outlining: The Basics

This lesson will take you step-by-step through a method of representing the content from cases in an outline. The lesson is generally designed for students in their first semester of law school; however, pre-1L students may derive benefit as well.
