This educational conference will feature core and advanced sessions for all experience levels, presented by law faculty and librarians from within the legal education/technology community.

1.

3. Keynote Headliner - Speaker David Yearwood  PH.D., CSTM: Dr. Yearwood brings a wealth of experience in the use of technological tools in education to enhance teaching and learning.  Keynote Session Title:  The Education Conundrum: Teach as you were Taught, OR Teach for the Future?
4. Thursday Night Reception: From a private tour of the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library, complete buyout of Lucky Strike Phoenix, and hosting a virtual carnival, our Thursday Night Reception has become our signature event.  This year will be even bigger and better.  You'll be able to test your ability in various sport settings with a modern day twist.  Some would say a "Paradigm Shift." 
5. Networking Opportunity:  With 300+ legal educators and technology professionals in attendance, you will network and build connections with others in the community whom you can swap stories with year-round when it comes to identifying solutions for similar challenges.

PARADIGM SHIFT

“A fundamental change in an individual's or a society's view of how things work in the world.”

The way we think about legal education is changing and not just at the edges.  The crash of 2008, the collapse of law school applicants and the access to justice gap have inspired law schools to launch new programs to compete in this shifted world.  Incubators, Innovation Clinics, Hackathons, Distance Learning, Academic Success, Learning Outcomes, Education Analytics …. we are doing different things and doing things differently.  Almost all of these have a technology component too and so are relevant for this year’s conference.  What is your law school doing?  What should you be doing?  Come to CALIcon19 to share your plans and discuss the new shifted present tense of legal education.

Judicial Ethics and Conduct provides materials that can be used in conjunction with a stand-alone one or two unit course on judicial ethics or can be used in whole or in part to provide the basis for a sub-unit on judicial ethics within a standard course on legal ethics or lawyer professional responsibility. A heavy emphasis is placed upon the American Bar Association’s Model Code of Judicial Conduct. The scope of coverage is designed to parallel that of the National Conference of Bar Examiners’ Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE), as it pertains to judicial ethics. More specific subjects covered include:  Maintaining the Independence and Impartiality of the Judiciary; Performing the Duties of Judicial Office Impartially, Competently, and Diligently; Ex Parte Communications; Disqualification; and Extrajudicial Activities. A number of important U.S. Supreme Court decisions relating to judicial ethics are covered. CALI Lessons are available that provide questions that review material from each of the chapters after the introduction.
