ALI's Restatements of the Law

Article Abstract:

West Publishing's $2,500 Restatements of the Law is a set of 10 CD-ROMs providing the American Law Institute's legal discussions. The discussions focus on trusts, torts, security, agency, property, conflict of laws, contracts, judgments, US foreign relations and restitution. The CD-ROM uses the Premise engine to search the databases. Selecting a particular volume to search is as easy as clicking on the title or highlighting the title and hitting the Return key. Several titles may be searched at one time by using the Ctrl plus mouse button command. Once users have selected the volume or volumes, dialog boxes appear to lead them through the process. The Premise search engine uses commands similar to those used in the Westlaw databases. Premise can connect to Westlaw and retrieve the full text of any highlighted case that appears in the CD-ROM. The Restatements may be purchased singly as well as by the set.
