The Restatement of the Law

The Restatement of the Law is a series of legal publications created by the American Law Institute that aim to summarize and clarify existing legal principles in the United States. It consolidates case law and legal theories into accessible, understandable statements. Lawyers, judges, and scholars use these restatements as references to understand and apply the law consistently across different cases. Essentially, it serves as a guide to help interpret complex legal concepts and ensure a common understanding of legal rules and practices.
