CALI!
| With CALI, you get free access to over 700 lessons in 32 legal subject areas. You can use the relevant lessons during the semester or before finals to help reinforce what you learned in class. You can access CALI on the internet in addition to using the CD that you received in your orientation packet. Ask a librarian on duty at the Reference Desk for the School of Law’s authorization code. For details about using CALI, here is a video from YouTube. |

New Extended Saturday Reference Hours!
During the academic year, librarians are available to provide you with reference/research assistance. They offer explanations of the process of legal research, show you how to use a particular tool or database, make suggestions about research strategy, and assist you in tracking down items which are not on the shelf.
In order to better assist you during the fall semester on the weekends, a librarian will be available for reference assistance from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (except for lunch time) on most Saturdays. Excluded are the Saturdays of August 30, October 11 and November 29.
Especially for first-year students working on their Legal Methods I assignments, a librarian will provide reference assistance on Sunday, September 28 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
