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.
