Restatement of the Law Third, Torts: Defamation and Privacy is making its first ALI Annual Meeting appearance this year. Tentative Draft No. 1 will be presented to ALI membership and introduces the framework for claims involving harm to reputation, focusing on the core components of a defamation action. It outlines what must be established to bring a claim, including how a statement is communicated, what makes that communication defamatory, how it is connected to the plaintiff, and the role of the defendant’s fault.
This year's Annual Meeting will be held on May 17-20. ALI members interested in registering for the Meeting can do so by clicking here.
