The entire Richmond Law School can use resources from The Center for Computer Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI).  They provide more than 1000 interactive lessons across nearly every subject we teach, as well as a series on law school success, which includes tips on everything from analysis to exams.

CALI also provides numerous free books and statute collections, and as part of the law school’s membership, we recognize the highest-scoring student in each class with a CALI Excellence for the Future Award.

The law library provides access to LexisNexis, Westlaw, and Bloomberg Law, for law students, faculty and staff.

Librarians teach a semester-long Legal Research course for all first-year law students, which includes instruction in computer-assisted research. We also offer additional opportunities for training in these databases, in partnership with these vendors.

The Law Library Technology Services Team serves the entire law school community with direct support, training, and technology management.  

In addition to providing training and support for equipment in Law School classrooms, we also provide these services:

• Consulting, planning and support for remote and hybrid learning;
• Support for webinars, conferences and guest speakers;
• Courtroom and law practice management technology evaluation and coordination.

We regularly collaborate with university Information Services staff to meet all goals efficiently and effectively.

Law students receive 400 print credits at the beginning of each semester. Any unused print credits roll over to the next semester.

A print credit is a sheet of paper.

Use your SpiderCard to purchase additional credits and visit the law school’s Technology Help Desk.
