Generative AI is rapidly reshaping legal research and writing. While these tools offer powerful efficiencies, they also introduce significant risks — including inaccuracies, hallucinated citations, and confidentiality concerns.
Our newest CALI Lesson equips law students and legal professionals with:
• Foundational understanding of GenAI tools
• Ethical considerations for professional responsibility
• Practical guidance for responsible implementation
As AI adoption accelerates in legal education and practice, professional standards must keep pace.
Explore the lesson and integrate responsible AI literacy into your work today.
We’re calling on law school faculty, librarians, technologists, and thought leaders to share their strongest opinions, boldest ideas, and most practical advice. Submit your session proposal and help shape the future of legal education!

CALI is pleased to announce the launch of a new CALI Fellowship focused on creating CALI Lessons in constitutional law.

CALI is excited to introduce a new eLangdell Press casebook, Constitutional Law with a Twist: Less Is More, designed specifically for a one-semester survey course on federal constitutional law. This thoughtfully crafted text covers the structure of the U.S. government and individual rights—excluding First Amendment rights and rights unique to criminal law—while embracing a “less is more” philosophy that prioritizes less reading, more emphasis on contemporary cases, and more feedback on interim work.
This peer-reviewed casebook offers a streamlined yet rigorous approach that many faculty may find refreshing for today’s students. It includes supporting materials such as a sample syllabus and sample daily quizzes, along with a full teacher’s manual, to facilitate effective course planning.
eLangdell Press publishes all casebooks under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA) license, making them free to adopt and free to modify to fit your teaching style and course design. To ensure maximum flexibility, the book is available in Word, PDF, and eBook formats—at no cost.
We invite you to download a complimentary review copy and explore whether this casebook is a good fit for your classroom. Your feedback and consideration for course adoption are greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss how this resource might work in your curriculum, feel free to reach out by emailing us at feedback@cali.org.
