ALI | Centennial Celebrations and Annual Meeting
This week, The American Law Institute celebrated its 100 anniversary in Washington, DC. It continues to play an important role in clarifying and modernizing American law. The meeting brought together judges, academics, practitioners, and representatives from civil society and industry to debate and vote on restatements of copyright, torts, property, children and the law, conflict of laws, and principles of government ethics.
Thank you to ALI and the members who extended a warm welcome. The representation of stakeholders, dedication to a clear, robust, and relevant rule of law, and collegiality of everyone I met left a deep impression. Looking forward to supporting the work of this remarkable and revered American institution in its second centennial.
