Bibliography

Together with the restatements of laws projects, the American Legal Institute also engages in intensive examination and analysis of legal areas thought to need reform. This type of study generally culminates in extensive recommendations for change in the law and usually is published as Principles of the Law. These projects have dealt with topics such as Aggregate Litigation, Corporate Governance, Family Dissolution, Software Contracts, Transnational Civil Procedure, Transnational Insolvency, and Transnational Intellectual Property, as well as a proposed revision of selected portions of the Federal Judicial Code. For more than half a century ALI has collaborated with the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in developing and monitoring the Uniform Commercial Code, a comprehensive code addressing most aspects of Commercial law . Other Institute projects have resulted in the development of model statutory formulations, including the Model Code of Evidence and the Model Penal Code.
