The Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI) and the Center for Access to Justice and Technology at IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law (CAJT) will be rolling out the new version of A2J Author® for the legal aid community this Friday, August 1, 2014 at 12 noon CST.
Yes, another CALIcon has come and gone. Thank you so much for attending! I kept hearing the phrase “my people” in sessions and hallways of CALIcon and that’s ultimately what CALI and CALIcon is about – Community. And we couldn’t have one without you.
As we work to put the final touches on the first redesign of the CALI website in over 5 years we want to make sure that everything works and that all of the features you count on are working properly. Over the course of this week it became apparent that everything wouldn’t be ready in time to launch the new website on June 2 & 3 as planned. Rather than going ahead with a site that we knew wasn’t quite ready we made the difficult decision to push back the launch of the redesigned website to June 11 & 12, 2014.
The wait is almost over….CALI will be revealing a new design to our website on TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 2014.
It’s more than just a facelift, although we think the new design is rather pretty. (Check out the screenshots below for a sneak peek.) There are going to be some great new features with the website, including:
Just 36 days until legal education and technology’s premiere educational and networking event…CALIcon14! And with that date drawing closer, I have some updates for you.
It’s the moooooooost wonderful tiiiiiiiiiiiime of the yeeeeeeeeear!
One of the more controversial suggestions in legal education reform is the idea that law students should learn computer programming. Critics wonder what possible use this could have. Are future lawyers going to have to build their own tools? Is it only useful for students preparing for a career with a legal product developer?
Happy Open Education Week!
Education, of course, is transferring knowledge and skills through formal and informal means.
It’s that time of year when up and comers and even older reliable stars have ads and phone calls placed on their behalf in the hopes that this will be the year that they are picked.
A new semester means a new opportunity to use CALI to help with your classes – whether you are a professor or a law student! Next week our Director of Community Development, Sarah Glassmeyer, will be hosting two 20 minute webinars that will explain everything you need to know to start using CALI.
