CALI is a lot of things: Code for authoring lessons and ebooks, websites that deliver lessons, assessments, ebooks and awards, and the content of the lessons and ebooks themselves. 

But most important, CALI is the staff, Board, authors and editorial reviewers - truly a community of effort.  

This session will talk about CALI's current setup and also it's future and how it might evolve in the face of generative AI, retirements of ancient and decrepit staff, changes in legal education and law practice and generational changes in lawyering, law practice and the populations of students entering law school.  It's healthy to do a little navel-gazing about CALI's existential role in the world of legal education and society in general.  CALI has always tried to balance the practical and useful with the higher goals of making legal education better and making the justice system more efficient and more fair.   This session will ask the audience to answer several questions...

- If CALI did not exist, and we wanted to create it today, what would be its mission?
- If CALI a billion dollars, what should it spend it on?
- What deep, gnarly problems could an organization like CALI tackle?
 

Let's not just think outsiide the box, let's make new boxes!
