"The Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit consortium of law schools, law libraries and related organizations. Almost every United States law school is a member of CALI and they make up the bulk of our membership. Specfiically, CALI hosts and facilitates the creation of CALI Lessons, a library of over 1,000 interactive legal tutorials written by law professors and geared towards law students."
If you have not set up your CALI account, please ask a reference librarian for the access code.
Besides providing an array of source materials, Westlaw also offers numerous user guides and study aids to hone your legal research skills, such as:
GGU law students and faculty have access to Thomson Reuters books as e-books! Most of the titles we subscribe to in print are now available through TR’s ProView eBook system. Students and faculty have automatic access to ProView via their Westlaw OnePass account. This access includes the ability to use any ProView title either online or by downloading the book to your laptop or tablet. (You must download an app to use on your tablet. Mobile phone apps are forthcoming.)
There are two ways to access ProView:
1. Go to lawschool.westlaw.com and login as usual. Click on “Practice Ready” to access ProView.
2. Go to proview.thomsonreuters.com and login with your Westlaw OnePass account.
You have the ability to make notes on the text, and text can be copied and pasted into a document.
ProView includes practice materials, not case books or code volumes. However, cites in ProView will hyperlink to corresponding codes and cases in Westlaw.
Please contact Michael Daw (mdaw@ggu.edu) or Janet Fischer (jfischer@ggu.edu) with any questions.
