Since 1991 The Conference for Law School Computing®, CALIcon, has organized its schedule at nearly the last minute in order to bring the most relevant and up-to-date presentations to attendees. This year is no different and we are looking for law school faculty, librarians, and technologists with strong opinions, great ideas, interesting projects, and useful advice. Come and share and be challenged.
The 2025 conference is a live event with a Zoom option. We will gather at Georgia State University College of Law in Atlanta GA on Thursday and Friday June 5 - 6, as well as provide live Zoom webinars of the full conference.
We are planning for up to 3 concurrent sessions to CALIcon this year but that depends on the number of proposals submitted. We'll need 40+ sessions to insure a full agenda, so we need your session proposal. If your session is accepted, you should be prepared to present live in Atlanta.
The theme for CALIcon25 is "Empower, Enlighten, Evolve." While we would like proposals to work with that theme we are, as always, flexible. The community has a voracious appetite for tech and the conference has always been the place to talk about it. Here are some topics that we think are particularly relevant today, but don’t be constrained by this list …
- Generative AI and the end of everything
- AI/ML, ethics, law, and legal education
- Is open source software relevant to legal education?
- Open education resources (OER) in legal education
- Access to Justice / Teaching / Technology / Legal Education
- Prepping law school tech for the NextGen bar exam
- Navigating the relationship with IT - Local and University
- Video Production - Tool Chains and Product Processes
- I want to talk about Drupal and Nobody Can Stop Me (or Regex or Python...)
- Everyone Talks About Formative Assessment, Why Don't More Faculty Use It?
- Let Students Grade Each Other Using Peer-grading Software
- The Traditional Casebook is Dissolving and Morphing Into CaaS (casebook as a service)
- Distance Learning is just Learning - Fight Me
- Can Anyone Really Define Tech Competency?
- AI Exam Grading - Cognitive Exoskeleton or Terminator?
- AI Paper Grading - Arms Race to Innovation or Race to the Bottom?
