BLS entering students: Want an early introduction to first-year legal concepts and foundational skills? 

The Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (a law school consortium known as CALI) assembled a free collection of CALI Lessons for pre-law students.  Tenured law school professors or other educational experts authored these interactive lessons. 

Complete 10 lessons in line with CALI’s guidelines to fulfill the 2025 CALI Summer Challenge, gain skills to enter law school better prepared, and earn an online certificate of completion.  The completion time for a lesson varies between 15-45 minutes.  The lessons in this Summer Challenge will be available until October 1, 2025.  Visit https://www.cali.org/summerchallenge for details.  

Incoming BLS first-year students: You can obtain the CALI code for BLS law students (needed to register) even if you do not yet have a BLS email.  Email askthelibrary@brooklaw.edu or use the Need Help? chat link (accessible during hours when BLS reference librarians are on duty) at https://www.brooklaw.edu/Library  Please include your name and identify yourself as an incoming BLS student when requesting this CALI code.  (Later, you can update your CALI account information to include your BLS email address.)
