How is The Sedona Conference different from other nonprofit organizations that seek to advance law and policy, such as the ABA or ALI?
The Sedona Conference has been referred to as an “ALI on steroids” and as “Think-Tank West.” But we are very targeted regarding the issues we decide to tackle. Working Group efforts are launched only on those issues identified during our conferences that can lead to practical, immediately usable content in areas extremely important in the real world. We do not focus our Working groups on restatements, or analyses of entire areas of the law. Instead, we create content that can help address “crisis areas” or bottlenecks in the development of the law.
