Roelof,
Your test should be pretty easy to convert to speclj.
There is a speclj project template that you might find useful. Simply running `lein new speclj my-project-name` will generate a new project with speclj already set up and ready for you to test. You don't need to install anything to run that (lein new) command, leiningen will figure out that speclj is a template and download it on its own.
On a side note, I think you may need a couple more test cases to satisfy the full description of the function. Without giving away the actual answer this is what I see as possible test cases: (there may be more)
"the function":
* should return true if the value of a map at a certain key is nil (you've got this one)
* should return false if the value of a map at a certain key is not nil
* should return false if the map does not contain the key.
Have fun learning Clojure.
