The American Law Institute : A Centennial History

See all formats and editions

The centennial of the American Law Institute is a landmark event.

A lifespan of one hundred years is significant for a law reform project.

Most such initiatives terminate when they achieve their limited goals, they fail, or members lose interest when their funding runs out.

Instead, the American Law Institute is the preeminent legal reform organisation in the United States and remains an enterprise in full vigour, with an enormous number of projects completed and an impressive array of projects in forward motion. The American Law Institute: A Centennial History brings together an outstanding group of expert scholars, several of them current or former Reporters for the ALI Restatements of Law, to provide an in-depth scholarly history of the ALI, its role in legal reform, and the various ways it has impacted law in the United States.

The resulting collection of essays provides original and important perspectives on both the ALI and its relevance for American Law.

This book offers a window into the course of legal thought over the past century and is a must-read for academics, practitioners, and all those interested in the way laws are shaped within the United States.
