The American Law Institute has elected 43 new members. These individuals bring a wide range of perspectives and areas of expertise to ALI’s work of clarifying the law through Restatements, Principles and Model Penal Codes.
“It is essential to ALI’s process that each of our projects includes members who are at the top of the legal profession and diverse in every way,” said ALI President Roberta Cooper Ramo. “We rely on our members’ unique perspectives to create discussion that produces balanced work that clarifies the law. It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome these newly elected members to ALI and our law reform projects.”
