The Future of CALI: An Audience Participation Discussion


John Mayer

CALI is always thinking about the future, but in 2024, we are going through a formal strategic planning process. This plenary session will invite the audience in on the discussion on possible projects and futures for the Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction.

CALI is different things to different people. At its core, it’s a nonprofit consortium of US law schools that publishes content and software systems to the benefit of law schools, it’s students, faculty and staff.

More specifically, CALI is a collection of products like…

– Over 1300 interactive tutorials that teach the law.
– A software system for publishing and maintaining these lessons that lets faculty create their own lessons.
– a service where faculty can assign lessons and get analytic reports on student responses
– a growing collection of free and open casebook that saves students millions of dollars and give faculty freedom create learning materials any way they want.
– the CALI Excellence for the Future Awards program which has been in operation since 1995 and hosts over 400,000 student awards.
– A2J Author used by hundreds of thousands of self representing litigants to fill out court forms across the US – AND – used by dozens of law schools as a teaching tool to introduce students to document automation and the access to justice crisis.

Where should we expand? Where should we cut? What else should be on this list? You tell us!
