CALI lessons
There are 18 separate lessons for Evidence in CALI, as listed in this topic page. Two of those lessons are listed here for illustrative purposes:
• Preliminary Factfinding Under Rule 104
"The first part of the lesson familiarizes the student with the key procedural differences between 104(a) and 104(b). It reviews all major facets of the problem, including the special procedures used when a preliminary fact coincides with a fact of consequence on the merits of the case. The second part of the lesson is an intensive drill giving the student extensive experience in classifying foundational facts as falling under either 104(a) or 104(b)." Lesson author: Edward J. Imwinkelried. Completion Time: 90 minutes.
• The Hearsay Rule & Its Exceptions
"This exercise is based on a simulated trial in which the user is asked to rule on hearsay objections and to give reasons for the rulings. ... It is suitable for students who have completed their study of the hearsay rule and who know something about the rules relating to impeachment and crossexaminations... The exercise was composed under a grant from the Federal Judicial Center, which has used it, along with the Character Evidence exercise, as part of its training program for incoming federal judges." Lesson Completion Time: 45 minutes.
