The prestigious organization limits its elected membership to 3,000 lawyers, judges, and academics from throughout the US and several foreign countries. Among the ALI&rsquo;s works are its Restatements of various areas of the law, the Model Penal Code, and the Uniform Commercial Code.</p>
<p>Professor Dimino is an expert on election law and in addition to his numerous articles on the subject, he is a co-author of the law school casebook <em>Voting Rights and Election Law. </em>His most recent book, <em>The Mueller Investigation and Beyond</em>, was recently published by Carolina Academic Press. In the spring of 2018, Professor Dimino was a Fulbright Scholar at the Universit&agrave; degli Studi Roma Tre in Rome, Italy, where he taught courses on the Law of Democratic Representation and on United States Law and Foreign Policy.</p>
<p>Upon learning of Professor Dimino&rsquo;s election to the ALI, Dean Christian Johnson said that Professor Dimino&rsquo;s election builds upon his stellar publication record and his work as a Fulbright Scholar last year in Italy.&nbsp;</p>
