CALI is hiring student workers

  • Evaluate student comments, questions and feedback about existing CALI Lessons. Update and edit accordingly.
  • Help CALI create digital casebooks. This may include editing, formatting, cite-checking or other functions involved with publishing electronic legal casebooks.
  • Seek formal permissions from copyright owners for use of their materials.

Other duties and ongoing projects (approximately 40 percent):

    • your familiarity with technology,
    • your availability through the rest of this semester and the summer,
    • and why you'd like to work for CALI.

Free CALI lessons available to law students

As you are starting your new classes, we'd like to remind you about CALI lessons.

If you are unfamiliar, CALI lessons are interactive, computer-based tutorials provided by the nonprofit Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (www.cali.org). There are over 700 lessons available to help you study 32 different legal subject areas at www.cali.org.

Lessons are completely free for law students. They are great for mastering course material during the semester and for studying for exams.

When registering a new account at cali.org, you must use our school's authorization code to create the account. The authorization code can be found at: www.cali.org/contacts.

You only need to use the school’s authorization code once. After that, you may use the e-mail/password you used to sign up in order to login at cali.org.

Good luck with the rest of the semester!
