Horwitz Steers Restatement of Charities to Approval

Culminating years of work led by Professor Jill Horwitz, in May the American Law Institute approved the first Restatement of the Law, Charitable Nonprofit Organizations, a comprehensive compendium of the legal issues that confront charitable nonprofit institutions. It stands to have a profound impact on the more than one million charities in the United States, ranging from hospital systems to local theater groups. Among the nation’s leading scholars of nonprofits and health law and policy, Horwitz served as the project’s reporter. She also created a seminar in nonprofit-law drafting that allowed UCLA Law students to contribute to the restatement and learn about the substantive law of charities. “This restatement represents a once-in-ageneration opportunity to clarify a complex and poorly understood area of the law,” says Horwitz. “Charities law is so difficult because it is based on such a wide range of sources — federal and state, common law and statute, English statutes from the 17th century and contemporary tax law — with which many courts and lawyers have only passing familiarity.”
