The American Law Institute has been selected to be profiled by Visionaries Inc. for its upcoming 23rd season. Visionaries is a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to producing and distributing media that inspires individuals and communities to take action for positive social change.

Since 1995, Visionaries has been producing a documentary series for public television.
