	Law of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, the supreme law of the land is the United States Constitution and, under the Constitution's Supremacy Clause, laws enacted by Congress and treaties to which the U.S. is a party.
		These form the basis for federal laws under the federal constitution in the United States, circumscribing the boundaries of the jurisdiction of federal law and the laws in the fifty U.S. states and territories.
		Apart from model codes, the American Law Institute has also created Restatements of the Law which are widely used by lawyers and judges as substitutes for long, tedious citations of old cases (in order to invoke the long-established principles contained in those cases).

	American Law Institute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The American Law Institute (ALI) was established in 1923 to promote the clarification and simplification of American common law and its adaptation to changing social needs.
		Restatements are essentially codifications of common law judge-made doctrines that develop gradually over time because of the principle of stare decisis.
		When done right, they reflect the consensus of the American legal community as to what the law is (and in some areas, what it should become).

		Law professors and lawyers who specialize in the areas of the law in question will be retained as project Reporters, and the work of the Reporters will be reviewed in detail and at frequent intervals by relatively small but expert project advisory committees of lawyers, judges, and other knowledgeable citizens.
		The Institute's By-Laws, which were adopted by the Council on January 11, provide for a full membership consisting of all members of the Council; all state judges, law faculty, and lawyer-legislators; and up to seventy-five additional lawyers, to be chosen by the Council.

	ABOUT THE AMERICAN LAW INSTITUTE
		According to the Committee, part of the uncertainty of the law, as it then existed, was due to the lack of agreement among members of the profession on the fundamental principles of the common law.
		The UCC, a comprehensive code addressing most aspects of commercial law, is generally viewed as one of the most important developments in American law; it has been enacted (with some local variations) in 49 states and in the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands, as well as partially in Louisiana.
		In order to maintain the Institute's reputation for thoughtful, disinterested analysis of legal issues, members are expected to speak and vote on the basis of their own personal and professional convictions and without regard to client interests.
