CALI’s Newest Member Law School a First from China
The China University of
Political Science and Law is now a CALI international affiliate member.
Chicago, Ill., October 16, 2007 – The Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI) announced a
first by welcoming its latest member: The China University of Political Science
and Law, School of American and
Comparative Law (www.sacl.net.cn/english/).
“This is our first member law school located in China,” says John Mayer, CALI
Executive Director.
CALI offers membership to an educational program located
outside the U.S. for $250/year through CALI’s International Affiliate
Membership. The membership includes unlimited access to CALI’s Library of
Lessons for an entire educational program’s students, faculty, and staff. The
Library of CALI Lessons is a collection of over 675 computer-based, interactive
materials on 33 different legal subjects found at cali.org/lessons. “CALI membership is
perfect for international schools that wish to supplement teaching of American
or comparative law,” says Mayer. “CALI lessons are written and edited by
American law professors or librarians, and all 675-plus lessons are available
online at our website. It’s a tremendous value for international schools at
$250 a year.”
