West Academic, A BARBRI Company Partners with The American Law Institute to Elevate Legal Education Resources

DALLAS, Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- West Academic, a BARBRI company, the leading provider of legal education content and digital learning tools, has added a valuable new addition to its subscription offerings: The American Law Institute Collection. In partnership with The American Law Institute (ALI), this collection offers law schools access to official texts and Tentative Drafts of Restatements, Principles, and the Model Penal Code. The ALI Collection is available as a supplement to the West Academic Study Aids & Reference Collection, providing comprehensive support for legal education.

"We're excited to partner with ALI to deliver their content with the West Academic Study Aids & Reference Collection. The user-friendly eReader format our platform provides will make it easier for law librarians, faculty, and students at subscribing schools to access this valuable content and incorporate it into their research, teaching, and studies. Our team has loved working with ALI and looks forward to continued collaboration," said Pamela Siege Chandler, Chief Content and Learning Officer at BARBRI.

The inclusion of ALI's collection with West Academic's digital platform means access to critical legal texts with greater ease and convenience. The ALI Collection includes comprehensive resources fundamental to understanding and interpreting the law, such as Restatements of the Law, Principles of the Law, and the Model Penal Code.

"We are thrilled the published books and Tentative Drafts of The American Law Institute's Restatements, Principles, and the Model Penal Code are now available through West Academic's Study Aids Collection," said ALI Director Diane P. Wood. "A core component of our mission is to clarify the law, and now students embarking on their legal education will have easy access to our current library to assist in their studies."

Wood continued, "While our work in Torts, Contracts, Property, and other areas has long been a cornerstone of legal education, this partnership ensures law schools have convenient electronic access to not only our published books but also our works in progress, including Tentative Drafts on crucial subjects like Children and the Law, Copyright, and Corporate Governance."

This partnership aligns with BARBRI's ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accessible legal education resources. By including ALI's texts alongside its digital learning platform, West Academic continues to support the academic and professional growth of law students, equipping them with the essential resources needed for success in the legal field.
