First Restatement

From 1923 to 1944, the American Law Institute worked on the First Restatement of the Law which attempted to clarify nine broad subject areas: agency, conflict of laws, contracts, judgements, property, restitution, security, torts, and trusts. The First Restatement of the Law Records contains drafts, correspondence, notes, and American Law Institute publications from 1923-1965. The following digital collection contains select material digitized from the American Law Institute's First Restatement of the Law collection.
