A quick definition of American Law Institute:

The American Law Institute (ALI) is a group of lawyers, judges, and legal scholars who work together to make American law easier to understand and follow. They do this by creating clear and simple summaries of the law, called restatements, as well as other helpful guides and books. They also help lawyers and judges keep learning and improving their skills through education programs.

A more thorough explanation:

The American Law Institute (ALI) is a group of lawyers, judges, and legal scholars who work to make American law more consistent and easier to understand. They do this by creating restatements of the law, model codes, and treatises. They also promote continuing legal education.

For example, the ALI might create a restatement of the law on contracts. This restatement would provide a clear and concise summary of the law on contracts, making it easier for lawyers and judges to understand and apply the law.

The ALI also creates model codes, which are sets of laws that states can adopt. For example, the ALI might create a model code on criminal procedure. States could then use this model code as a guide when creating their own criminal procedure laws.

Finally, the ALI promotes continuing legal education. This means that they encourage lawyers and judges to keep learning about the law throughout their careers. They might do this by hosting conferences or creating online courses.

How long can I delay sending my fall grades if they hurt my GPA? I’m still waiting on decisions and ideally I’m hoping they decide BEFORE seeing my new grades
TGM
18:27
dropped my GPA below median for a couple of schools I’m applying to, when I was above median before
Dkk
18:32
@TGM: Not long enough to get another transcript to recover.
Dkk
18:33
Honestly you could just wait until someone actually asks for your fall grades. Who knows.
Dkk
18:34
@wigwav: It looks like if below medians it will not help but If applying in November it seems you are still middle of the cycle.
18:34
@wigwav: nah
TGM

Is your LSAT also below median?
TGM
18:37
It’s above median, but I’m applying T6 with unimpressive softs, so even with a good LSAT it’s tough

TGM

TGM
