THE AMERICAN LAW INSTITUTES’S RESTATEMENTS OF THE LAW
Access Restatements in the Archival Collection of the American Law Institute at the Riesenfeld Center can be discovered in the University of Minnesota’s library catalog (MNCAT). There one can find each Restatement topic by title, subject, reporter, and under the identifier American Law Institute. Each entry in the catalog is linked to a finding aid on that particular topic.
