Is a Picture Worth a Thousand Words?

Abstract: A number of questions on the present and future use of Computer Aided Learning (CAL) in Law Schools are raised. Anecdotal reactions to CAL from students are given. The changing nature of students' Information Technology experience prior to attending Law School and how students' IT experience can be improved are outlined as factors that should be considered in designing the Human Computer Interface (HCI) for CAL. Future developments in the design of HCI are outlined.
