What are the Restatements of the Law?
Help with this question, thanks.
The Restatements of the Law are a helpful resource, and one on which judges often rely as a persuasive authority when making decisions. The Restatements are compilations of the common law that have been drafted and published by the American Law Institute. They are available online via Lexis and Westlaw.
There are Restatements in the areas of contracts, torts, agency, trusts, property, restitution, security, judgments, and conflict of laws. Many of the Restatements are now in their second or third editions. Each section in the Restatements contains a statement of the principles of law that are generally accepted by the courts or embodied in statutes, followed by a discussion of those principles. The discussions present cases as examples and also discuss variations.
