The ALI (American Law Institute) and UNIDROIT (the International
Institute for the Unification of Private Law) are preeminent
organizations working together toward the clarification and
advancement of the procedural rules of law. Recognizing the need
for a universal set of procedures that would transcend national
jurisdictional rules and facilitate the resolution of disputes
arising from transnational commercial transactions, Principles of
Transnational Civil Procedure was launched to create a set of
procedural rules and principles that would be adopted globally.
This work strives to reduce uncertainty for parties that must
litigate in unfamiliar surroundings and to promote fairness in
judicial proceedings. As recognized standards of civil justice,
Principles of Transnational Civil Procedure can be used in judicial
proceedings as well as in arbitration. The result is a work that
significantly contributes to the promotion of a universal rule of
procedural law.
The American Law Institute was organized in 1923 following a study
conducted by a group of prominent American judges, lawyers, and law
professors. Their recommendation that a lawyers' organization be
formed to improve the law and its administration led to the
creation of The American Law Institute.
UNIDROIT was founded in 1926 as a specialized agency of the League
of Nations. It exists as an independent intergovernmental
organization on the basis of a multilateral agreement, the UNIDROIT
Statute. Its purpose is to study needs and methods for modernizing,
harmonizing, and coordinating private laws between states and
groups of states and to prepare legislative texts for consideration
by governments.
