After a rigorous nomination and vetting process, The American Law Institute has chosen Stetson Law Dean Benjamin Barros to join its latest incoming class of members.

He is among 47 legal scholars and practitioners chosen to join the elite roster of legal professionals in 2024 (see full list) – and will now be one of numerous current and past Stetson Law faculty members elected to the ALI. The century-old nonprofit invites the nation’s top lawyers, judges, and legal scholars to use their sharp expertise to help shape documents intended to inform the creation and interpretation of laws. Thus, becoming a member of the ALI is both a prestigious affair and a challenging endeavor.

“I am honored to be elected as a member of The American Law Institute,” Barros said. “The ALI is one of our country’s most important legal institutions, and I look forward to taking part in the ALI’s continuing efforts to improve our legal system.”
