The American Law Institute

The American Law Institute (ALI) is a non-profit organization established in 1923 that aims to clarify, modernize, and improve the law in the United States. It brings together legal experts, including judges, lawyers, and law professors, to draft and publish influential legal documents called "Restatements of the Law" and "Model Codes." These works help harmonize legal principles across different states and guide courts and legislatures in making decisions. ALI plays a crucial role in shaping the development of law by providing clear, authoritative guidance on legal standards and practices.
