Credit:
The hosts have not applied for CLE credit. This appears not to be because they have an adverse opinion as to its suitability for CLE credit, but because they're addressing an academic audience and don't need to go through the hassle and expense of applying for credit.
As a result, attorneys will have to go to the effort of applying for credit on their own. This appears to me to be a reasonable approach; let those of us who want the credit, apply for the credit. Either way, the educational value of the experience is unchanged.
Topic:
This course provides an overview of the changes that are occurring in the practice of law today, especially with respect to technology.
Structure:
The TDLP series runs for one hour a week for nine weeks and will feature a different guest speaker each week. Each class will be delivered via webcast and will have a 30 minute lecture presentation followed by a question & answer period and an online, interactive homework assignment for all course students to complete. IMO this interactivity offers an exceptional educational value; how often have you wanted to hang around after a CLE and talk things over with the other participants, but didn't because you had to rush off to some other business!
Access:
The audience for this seminar is primarily law students and law faculty who will be given priority. Anyone else can join the course for one or all of the sessions. The presentations will be recorded and posted to the course blog.
Cost:
Free.
Registration:
Register for the course.
Host:
The Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit consortium of over 200 US law schools. Non-US law schools, law firms, business schools, paralegal programs and individuals can also join CALI to support its mission. More information about CALI membership: http://www.cali.org/faq/8054.
