=================================================================
The theme of this year's conference is CONVERGENCE
=================================================================
Convergence: ken-vur'-jens, to tend to a common result,
conclusion, etc. (The American College Dictionary).
This year's conference offers an opportunity to converge ideas from
a wide spectrum -- technology, pedagogy, practical applications
(the use of technology in law clinics), information management,
user support and other activities in legal education.
On June 7th and 8th (Wednesday and Thursday), CALI and Chicago-Kent
College of Law will host a workshop for law school faculty on the
creation of electronic casebooks. This is a hands-on workshop, but
it will also include discussions on the pedagogical value of
electronic casebooks and copyright issues.
On June 8th (Thursday), SGML Open, a non-profit vendor consortium,
will deliver a series of sessions on SGML (Standard Generalized
Markup Language) and how it can be used to create educational
materials and organize information in your institution.
On June 8th, 9th and 10th (Thursday, Friday, Saturday), computer
experts from many law schools will demonstrate and discuss their
experiences with technology -- both in this country and abroad.
Among the 1995 CALI Conference speakers are guests from Norway,
Great Britain and Australia. These technology presentations, panel
discussions and case-studies focus on strategic planning, computer-
based learning, technology management, library technology, and, of
course, the Internet.
I hope you will join us in Chicago this June for what promises to
be our best conference ever!
John Mayer, Executive Director, CALI
