CALI Lessons Offer Free Exam Preparation Help
Posted by admin on Apr 30, 2007
With finals time here, don’t forget that CALI lessons are a free way to help you prepare.
If
you’re unfamiliar, CALI lessons are interactive, computer-based
tutorials provided by the non-profit Center for Computer-Assisted Legal
Instruction (www.cali.org).
There are over 600 CALI lessons available in 32 different legal subject
areas. The lessons, written by law faculty/librarians, are free to all
law students at our school because our law school is a CALI member.
If you are registering a free account at cali.org for the first time, note that you must use our school’s authorization code to create a new account on www.cali.org. To get the authorization code, call the reference desk at 477-2114 or email jslindenmuth@widener.edu or IM widenerlawlib.
We also still have some CALI CDs for those without internet access. Stop by the reference desk to pick one up while supplies last.
Good luck with finals!

Special Master rules in favor of Delaware
Posted by admin on Apr 13, 2007
A Special Master appointed by the Supreme Court of the United States
has issued a report in favor of the State of Delaware in a dispute with
the State of New Jersey. In the suit, New Jersey claimed to have the
right to allow the company BP to build a Liquified Natural Gas (LNG)
distribution plant on the New Jersey side of the Delaware river. The
problem was that Delaware has retained sovereignty of the entire river
up to the low tide mark on the New Jersey side as it was deeded by
William Penn. The ruling and appendices are available (for the time being) at delawareonline.com<span style=”text-decoration: underline;”></span>
It should also be posted to the U.S. Supreme Courts website in the next few days here. The case State of New Jersey v. State of Delaware is still subject to review by the Supreme Court.
