Copyright

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

This Restatement encompasses general copyright law. Its goal is to provide guidance to the courts in areas, including ones that have clear common-law origins, in which there is significant scope for judicial discretion.

Drafting of this project is completed; preparation of the official text is in progress.

Understanding the Restatement of Copyright Law (2021)

In the below video, Pierre N. Leval (2nd Circuit) discusses the Restatement of the Law, Copyright. Leval joined the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in 1993. Before that, he served on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York since 1977. He serves as an Adviser for this Restatement.

Questions answered in the video include:

  • What is the goal of The American Law Institute’s Restatement of the Law?
  • What is the role of the project Reporter and Associate Reporters?
  • Why is ALI working on a Copyright Law Restatement?
  • Why has the Copyright Law Restatement raised concerns?
  • What is a specific example of an area where the Restatement may provide clarification?
