CALI Lessons

CALI Lessons (from the Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction consortium) are a library of over 1,200 interactive legal tutorials written by law professors and geared towards law students. These can be quite helpful for review, for learning a new area of law, and may be assigned as part of a course.

Go to our CALI page for our authorization code and registration instructions.

BarBooks

Barbooks is the invaluable online library of Oregon State Bar practice guides and other legal publications, and a great place to begin most Oregon-related legal research.

Go to our Barbooks page for registration instructions and links.

Course Sites

Many law school professors use TWEN for their course sites. Check with your professor and/or see your syllabus for more information. Click the link below to access all L&C TWEN courses.

If you are not automatically added to a classroom for TWEN by your professor, you can manually add yourself by going to the TWEN page, selecting the arrow next to the words "Manage Courses", select "Add Course". Next find your course on the list of available courses and select the "Add+" tab. If you can not find your class, contact your professor. They may be using a different classroom management system.
