With ALI's focus on clarifying and improving the law, students and educators alike will benefit from an accessible library of published works and ongoing projects, which encompass crucial areas such as Children and the Law, Copyright, and Corporate Governance.

Diane P. Wood, Director of ALI, commented on the collaboration, stating, "We are thrilled that our published materials and Tentative Drafts are available through West Academic’s Study Aids Collection.
