Electronic Casebook Authoring Workshop


The Case for Electronic Casebooks

Wednesday, June 7th
9:15 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.

The recent explosion in interest in electronic publishing has been called the most significant event in information dissemination since Gutenberg developed the printing press in the 15th century. Several pilot projects and half a dozen experiments around the country, in the past year, seem to indicate that the electronic casebook can and will be used law students of the future. Computer-savvy students carrying their five-pound notebook computers into the classroom are also driving this revolution. How will legal education be affected by this? Can we hope to improve on the traditional model of the casebook and if so, how?

Anatomy of an Electronic Casebook

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1995
10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

What are the elements of an electronic casebook? Rosemary Shiels participated in the design of the electronic casebooks that were used by 30 students for 5 of their 7 first year courses last year. Several years of research and in-class testing went into the design of the current Law Student Desktop that delivers the power of the computer to students without getting in their way. The model used in Chicago-Kent's courses was extremely successful, but there is still work to be done. Rosemary will provide insight into how you might design your electronic course materials for maximum effectiveness and educational impact.

CAI in Legal Education: 3 Case Studies

FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 199510:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Professor Buckingham has authored three pieces of courseware (collectively called CASI) for a very large first year law class. CASI tries to provide a learning matrix in the area of statutory interpretation and has been developed in Hypercard for the Mac and is presently being converted to ToolBook for the PC. The modules are built in such a way that the user is able to pick their own path of exploration, depending on their assessment of their own learning need. In a sense they are able to free range across each module in a manner which fits their own learning style, yet still gain exposure to the models of legal reasoning which they must emulate.

Professor Corcos is developing a multimedia program intended to lead students through an investigation of human rights issues. The program uses proprietary software initially developed at Case Western Reserve University and purchased and marketed by IBM. It leads students through analysis of a human rights problem, helps them spot issues and organize their research, and produces a printed result. The program presently runs under OS/2, but the programmer is developing a Windows version and expert system enhancements.

Email, Electronic Casebooks and Legal Education

FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1995
2:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

In my presentation I will try to describe and demonstrate the advantages and difficulties I have found in using electronic networks for law teaching over a period of three years. I start with the premise that networked teaching can be used to support many pedagogical objectives, three of which I will focus on: learning to write/writing to learn; learning through dialogue/feedback; and learning from student peers/teaching student peers. I will outline the various technical strategies I have employed using networks including shared directories and files, email and newsgroups. Comments on networking from students who have been in my classes will be received online, discussed and analyzed. This presentation will be of most value to those who have some experience of using the Internet at an Intermediate level and should be of interest to law faculty, technical staff and librarians.

Cataloging Internet Resources

SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1995
1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

The unprecedented rate of growth of the Internet has presented a new set of difficulties to users. Where formerly the chief obstacle to use was the maze of obscure Unix commands, now easy-to-use graphical software like Cello, Mosaic, and Netscape has made "navigating the Internet" simple. The new problem is not one of utilization of tools, but identification of resources. Anyone can point-and-click their way around the Web for hours, but how do you find the latest 7th Circuit court opinion or the British-Irish framework document? This session will look at a variety of approaches to the problem of cataloging the Internet, from individually-maintained indexes like those at the LII and Chicago-Kent, to automated robots like Lycos and WebCrawler, to recent cooperative library cataloging project like that sponsored by OCLC. What are the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, and what do they have to offer each other? This is an intermediate session, for faculty, technical staff, and administrators; a basic familiarity with the World Wide Web and URLs is recommended.

Computer Strategies in Hard Budget Times

SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1995
3:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

The University of Washington is 'doing more with less' with innovative uses of e-mail and computer science students who need work experience. The new 'lawhelp' system, which will have been in place for about a year at the time of the conference, has proved useful through severe budget cuts in which computing positions (classified and student) were lost. The system involves use of e-mail among other things. University of Washington is also using e-mail in new ways for class work and other intra-departmental communication. UW is coping with the fact that they have less money for computing, equipment, planning and support, at a time when cuts have been so severe that the school is ironically looking at development of instructional technology as a central strategy in continuing to offer a quality legal education.

Laurie Davenport
Director of Computing Services

The funding of technology is a critical problem within all of higher education, and yet it is often thought to be a problem unique to scientists and engineers and not relevant to Law Schools. However, the demand for modern technology is changing legal education and this poses special problems for Law Schools. How , in a period of tight budgets and competition for funds can Law Schools develop and maintain the computer resources that modern legal education requires? Our presentation will discuss:
1. Initial Installation of Windows NTAS
2. Continuing support of Network Services
3. Strategies for future Support and Development

This presentation will deal with possible anti-virus policies in a Dos/Windows environment, including problems of workstations regularly connected to LANs. It gives a brief introduction to the more technical aspects (dangers posed by presently existing viruses, choice and correct installation of anti-virus software, cleaning of virus infections) and to the major information resources dealing with virus questions. Siegland will also concentrate on the organizational aspects (risk evaluation, prevention of virus infections, limiting their spread, damage control) - and how to achieve this, mainly by staff qualification, user education, and establishing communication channels. New developments will also be discussed. While increased interconnectivity and intelligent viruses raise the risks, the successful 'good-times' hoax and some other over-publicized virus-threats may have in effect reduced a realistic public awareness of the dangers posed by viruses and worms.
