Restatement of the Law

The Restatement of the Law is a series of legal guides created by the American Law Institute that summarize and clarify the principles of common law in the United States. Each Restatement covers a specific area of law, like contracts or torts, and aims to provide a clear, organized reference for judges, lawyers, and scholars. It distills complex legal rules into understandable principles, helping to promote uniformity and consistency in legal interpretation across different jurisdictions. While it is not legally binding, it serves as a valuable resource for understanding legal concepts and guiding decisions in court.
