Resources for CALI Representatives

CALI has sent enough student authorization codes for all or substantially all law students at member schools this year.

Some suggestions for use:

- Hand out with CD's in orientation

- Hand out to all students in certain classes (legal writing)

- Keep a stack close to wherever CALI CD's are distributed.

- Place a stack in computer rooms or at computer workstations

- Place at library desks (circulation, reference)

- Place in student lounge

- Put on bulliten boards

- Place in or around student mailboxes

If you want to print more, you may. Don't forget to customize the cards according to your school's authorization code and to download CALI font for these files to have the proper appearance on your computer.

Files:

MS Word: AuthCodeCards.doc (Must download CALI font for this download to have the proper appearance.)

MS Publisher: AuthoCodeCards.pub (Must download CALI font for this download to have the proper appearance.)

These are similar to the student authorization code cards, but for faculty and staff. Placing faculty authorization code cards in faculty mailboxes is a great way to distribute them!

Files (you must download the CALI font for these files to appear and print properly on your computer):

Faculty AuthCode Word Document (Don't forget CALI FONT)

Faculty AuthCode Publisher File (Don't forget CALI FONT)

You'll need to download this font file to your computer in order for some of the downloadable files on this to look correct.

Upon downloading you will be able to type and adjust the CALI in the above style as any other font. Note that only C, A, L, I, and R (creates the registered trademark symbol) will work when this font is selected.

Instructions:

1. Download the CALI Font file
2. Copy and place the downloaded CALI font file in your computer's font folder (probably found at C:Windows/Fonts)

We suggest five easy steps you can follow throughout the semester to help make sure students know about CALI lessons: 1) Introduce lessons to 1L's, 2) an early fall semester reminder to all students, 3) a late fall semester reminder before exams, 4) an early spring reminder, and 5) a late spring reminder.

You may find you need to do more (take a look at our other files), but taking these basic steps, amounting to five simple reminders sent out to students, should help raise awareness of CALI lessons as one of the few free tools that law students have available.

FALL SEMESTER

1) Introduce CALI lessons to 1L's through (a) orientation and/or (b) classroom contact

Purpose:
-Introduce 1L's to CALI lessons for the first time.

Suggestions/files:
- Handout authorization code business cards (CALI may send a batch to your school) to all 1L's during either orientation or a legal writing classes
- Hand out DVD's to ALL 1L's either 1) in orientation during tour of library/computer facilities or during library/IT speaker or 2) In class time by library/tech representatives during librarly/research training.
- Have the person handing out DVD's to 1L's give a quick explanation of CALI lessons to students.
- Classroom: Require 1L's in legal writing to signup to www.cali.org and complete a basic lesson (like the lessons on Citations or Grammar Basics)
