About Hugh McGuire

I often run across interesting ways that faculty can and do use technology in their courses – law faculty and others – and I decided to collect them all in one place for the benefit of law faculty seeking interesting ideas.  Some ideas are more substantive than others, and they all require some small effort to implement, but I hope you find something useful in the list.  

During the CALI Annual Member Meeting, held June 9, in New York City, attendees unanimously elected one new member and re-elected four others to its Board of Directors. “We are very fortunate to have these outstanding individuals on our Board to contribute valuable insight to the research and development, strategic planning and governance of CALI”, John Mayer, Executive Director.

The new CALI’s board member:

Professor Debra R. Cohen

University of the District of Columbia School of Law

Current term: 2016-2019
