Restatement Law Definition
n
A treatise by the American Law Institutes
that attempts to describe general common law, incorporating its growth as the
result of various legal decisions. Restatements have been issued in relation to
agency, conflict of laws, contracts, foreign relations, judgments, restitution,
security, torts, trusts, and unfair competition. Although frequently cited in
cases and commentaries, restatements are not binding on the courts.
