University of Colorado Law School Professor Andrew Schwartz is one of 45 legal scholars and practitioners who were recently elected to the American Law Institute. Schwartz, who is the Laurence W. DeMuth Chair of Business Law, is recognized for his scholarship in corporate, securities and contract law, including his work on investment crowdfunding.
Founded more than a century ago, ALI produces Restatements of the Law, Model Codes and Principles of Law that influence courts, legislatures and the legal academy worldwide. Membership is limited to 3,000 judges, lawyers and law professors and is considered a significant professional distinction.
“Professor Schwartz’s election is an extremely well-deserved honor and a reflection of the rigor and impact of his scholarship,” said Colorado Law Dean Lolita Buckner Inniss.
