University of Wisconsin Law School Professor D. Gordon Smith has been elected to membership in the American Law Institute (ALI).

The ALI was established in 1923 "to promote the clarification and simplification of the law and its better adaptation to social needs, to secure the better administration of justice, and to encourage and carry on scholarly and scientific work." The Institute drafts for consideration by its Council and its membership, and then publishes, various Restatements of the Law, Model Codes, and other proposals for law reform.

Smith joins ten other members of the UW Law School faculty who have been honored with ALI membership: Gordon Baldwin, Richard Bilder, Kenneth B. Davis, Jr., Walter Dickey, Marc Galanter, Linda Greene, Marygold Melli, Susan Steingass, Gerald Thain, and June Weisberger.
