Professor Lisa Schultz Bressman, the Vice Dean and David Daniels Allen Distinguished Chair in Law at Vanderbilt Law School, has been elected as a new member to the American Law Institute (ALI).
ALI has elected new members who will bring their expertise to the institute’s work of clarifying the law through Restatements, Principles, and Model Codes.
“As ALI welcomes this class of newly elected members, we recognize the important role they will play in shaping the future of the Institute,” said ALI President David F. Levi. “Their election is not just a reflection of their leadership and accomplishments, but also of their commitment to contributing their wisdom to the collaborative work ahead. ALI thrives when each member actively participates in our work to secure the rule of law. I am sure that each of these new members will bring a unique perspective that will contribute meaningfully to that mission.”
One of the most cited scholars in administrative law, Bressman’s recent work focuses on the Supreme Court’s rules of self-regulation. She was recently named one of the 20 most-cited Administrative and / or Environmental Law faculty in the U.S. for the period 2019-2023, ranking No. 10.
