American Restatement of the Law

The American Restatement of the Law is a series of legal textbooks that summarize and clarify existing American law in various areas, like contracts, torts, property, and more. Created by the American Law Institute, it aims to provide consistent legal principles by distilling case law and legal doctrines. This helps judges, lawyers, and scholars understand the law better and apply it consistently. While not legally binding, the Restatements are often influential in shaping legal decisions and interpretations in American courts.
