Free Online Course on Digital Law Practice
06
Feb
The Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI) is offering a free online course on digital law practice, primarily for law students and law professors, but anyone can register.
I don’t doubt that most law faculty will find these topics to be irrelevant, but its connecting with law students, as over 500 law students have registered nationwide.
For lawyers interested in delivering legal services online, this course would be a good introduction to the subject.
The first session is February 10 at 2-3 EST. Stephanie Kimbro is doing a session on the virtual law office.
Later in the course, Marc Lauritsen is doing a session on document automation, and I am doing a session on “unbundling legal services”.
Here are some of the other sessions:
Week 5: Online Legal Forms in Legal Aid
Friday, Mar. 9, 2-3pm ET
Ronald W. Staudt, Professor of Law, Chicago-Kent College of Law
Week 6: Contract Standardization
Friday, Mar. 16, 2-3pm ET
Kingsley Martin, President, kiiac.com & contractstandards.com
Week 7: Free Legal Research Tools
Friday, Mar. 23, 2-3pm ET
Sarah Glassmeyer, Director of Content Development / Law Librarian, CALI
Week 8: Unauthorized Practice of Law in the 21st Century
Friday, Mar. 30, 2-3pm ET
William Hornsby, Staff Counsel at American Bar Association
Week 9: Social Media for Lawyers
