CALI is experimenting with artificial intelligence to create learning resources based on our existing content. These AI-generated resources are designed to enhance CALI Lessons and eLangdell casebooks by offering an alternative way to engage with our materials and encouraging students to access the source content for deeper learning.
AI will serve as the starting point for these resources, with both CALI staff and law faculty reviewing all outputs to ensure accuracy and uphold CALI’s high-quality standards.
Below are examples of several resources we’re developing. We’ll continue to add more resources to this page as they are completed. Projects we post may be removed or updated as we continue to refine our processes and explore other tools.

Conversational Podcasts
Featuring two people discussing the material, these podcasts are conversational and easy to listen to, and for some, can be an effective way to absorb information.
Example: The Basics of Homicide Law
Source material: Introduction to Homicide, a CALI Lesson
Talking Avatar Videos
Featuring a talking avatar and visuals, these videos aim to provide a clear and concise summary of the material.
Example 1: 1976 Copyright Act Requirements
Source material: Copyright Law: Cases and Materials, an in-progress CALI eLangdell casebook, by Christopher Holman.
Example 2: Offer
Source material: Discussions in Contracts: Offer Podcast
Example 3: Battery Basics
Source material: Battery Basics, a CALI Lesson
Casebook Companions
Including key terms, multiple-choice questions, and case briefs, these are designed to complement CALI eLangdell casebooks.
Example: Constitutional Rights - Chapter 1. The Origin of Modern Rights
Source material: Constitutional Rights, a CALI eLangdell casebook, by Jud Campbell.
