Model Penal Code

This seminal work played an important part in the widespread revision and codification of the substantive criminal law of the United States. Respected and influential, it is still cited by courts. The Institute recently re-examined the Code's provisions on Sentencing and Sexual Assault and Related Offenses. 

The Institute adopted the Official Draft of the Model Penal Code at the 1962 Annual Meeting, but did not adopt the accompanying Commentaries at that time. The Official Draft is out of print, but is available by subscription on HeinOnline, Westlaw, and LexisNexis. A set of Commentaries for Part II of the Code was published in 1980 and a set of Commentaries for Part I of the Code was published in 1985. A volume containing the Complete Statutory Text of the 1962 Official Draft as well as Explanatory Notes was published in 1985. All of these volumes are out of print, but are available by subscription on HeinOnline.
