CALI for Undergraduates and for Transition to Law School

Audience: All
Technical Level: Low

The three speakers – two law professors and a political science professor – are creating a course at UNLV for undergraduates on Law in Action in the civil cases involving individual disputes. Specially written CALI lessons are required homework and an integral part of the course instruction. The session will discuss (1) how learning theory should inform the creation of materials for undergraduates and for the transition to first year of law school, (2) what undergraduates know and expect about studying law before they get to law school, and (3) how CALI can be used for undergraduates and how CALI lessons can ease the transition to law school in general.
