Introduction
Treatises are very powerful. We know you are running on fumes now, but do yourself a favor. Take these exercises to heart! Especially Restatements. There are thousands of possible treatises. Some are a single volume, some are barely more than pamphlets, some are a few volumes, and some are dozens of volumes in length. But none is held in higher regard than Restatements.
Restatements, as one attorney put it, are the closest thing to law without being law. They are written by a private publisher (A.L.I.), and thus are secondary authority.
Restatements are well written, highly respected sets of treatises on multiple areas of law.
