Exam Preparation: CALI Online Lessons

CALI Online Lessons

The Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI) contains interactive computer-based tutorials on various legal subjects. CALI modules are available to Michigan Law students and faculty.

Each tutorial is interactive, meaning you can quiz yourself on tricky subjects like Hearsay Rules, First Amendment issues, and all the other curveballs law school throws your way.
