Model Law

Model Law is a standardized set of legal principles and rules created to guide lawmakers in different regions or countries. It serves as a blueprint or example that jurisdictions can adopt or adapt to develop their own laws consistently. Essentially, it helps promote uniformity and clarity across legal systems, making laws easier to understand, apply, and update. For instance, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) in the U.S. is a Model Law designed to harmonize business transactions across states. It’s not automatically law; each jurisdiction decides whether to adopt or modify it.
