(openPR) - Kane Russell Coleman & Logan PC is pleased to announce that on September 29, 2010, The American Law Institute (ALI) elected Kenneth C. Johnston to its membership.

About the ALI -- The ALI is the leading independent organization in the United States producing scholarly work to clarify, modernize and otherwise improve the law. The ALI drafts, discusses, revises and publishes the Restatements of the Law, model statutes and principles of law that are enormously influential in the courts and legislatures, as well as in legal scholarship and education.

The ALI's membership consists of eminent judges, lawyers and law professors from all areas of the United States and from many foreign countries whom are selected on the basis of professional achievement and demonstrated interest in improving the law.

To further its law-reform work, the ALI seeks individuals who reflect the excellence and diversity of today's legal profession. ALI membership is a distinct professional honor, and the number that can be admitted is limited to 3000 (not including life, honorary, and ex-officio members).

By participating in the ALI's contribution, its distinguished members have the opportunity to influence the development of the law in both existing and emerging areas, to work with other eminent lawyers, judges, and academics, to give back to a profession to which they are deeply dedicated and to contribute to the public good.
