The American Law Institute today announced the names of the 61 newly elected members. These outstanding judges, lawyers, and law professors hail from 26 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, along with two new international members from Australia and Singapore.
"The election of a new class of members is always a key moment for the ALI. The work we do depends on finding the most accomplished and respected lawyers, judges, and scholars who are willing to give generously of their time because of the importance of our projects," said ALI President Roberta Cooper Ramo.
"This impressive new group continues our strong tradition of finding the best and most accomplished from all points of view and from every region of the country. We look forward to the impact of their experience and intellects on forwarding our work."
