Easha Anand / Stanford
Indian American Stanford Law School professor Easha Anand has been elected to the American Law Institute (ALI), joining the legal organization that develops influential legal publications used by courts, legislatures and scholars across the United States.
Anand, who serves as co-director of Stanford Law School's 'Supreme Court Litigation Clinic,' is among the institute's newly elected members. She joins 27 current and emeriti Stanford Law faculty members affiliated with ALI, including several who serve as Reporters.
Founded more than a century ago, ALI drafts, discusses, revises and publishes 'Restatements of the Law,' 'Model Codes' and 'Principles of Law.' These publications are widely referenced in judicial decisions, legislation and legal scholarship.

At Stanford Law, Anand represents employees, noncitizens, consumers, unions, criminal defendants and civil rights plaintiffs before the U.S. Supreme Court. Her recent cases include representing a long-distance truck driver who was misled into purchasing a product containing a federally controlled substance, a jeweler who was jailed after police fabricated evidence against him and a whistleblower who was fired after reporting securities law violations. The whistleblower case resulted in a unanimous Supreme Court decision.
Anand is also known for her work on Supreme Court practice and procedure, civil rights and prisoners' rights. She regularly speaks at judicial conferences and advises on legislation, litigation and legal scholarship in those fields.
"ALI has played an extraordinary role in shaping American law by bringing together judges, practitioners, and scholars to work through difficult legal questions with rigor and care," Anand said.
"I'm honored to join that community, including many Stanford Law colleagues, and look forward to contributing to its work."
ALI President Wallace B. Jefferson said the election of new members is central to the institute's work.
"The election of new members is among the most important responsibilities of the Institute because it renews and strengthens the exchange of ideas that makes our work possible," Jefferson said.
"As I welcome my first class of new members as President, I do so with optimism and appreciation for the perspectives they will bring to the Institute. I look forward to seeing the meaningful ways these distinguished lawyers, judges, and scholars will contribute to the Institute's projects, ensuring that ALI continues to serve the legal profession and the public."
