Uniform Laws Commission

The Uniform Laws Commission (ULC) is an American organization formed in 1892 that aims to create consistent legal standards across states. Composed of appointed commissioners from each state, it drafts model laws on various topics, such as commercial law, family law, and intellectual property. These model laws help reduce legal discrepancies between states, making it easier for businesses and individuals to operate across state lines. While the ULC cannot enforce laws, its work serves as a valuable resource for state legislatures, encouraging them to adopt uniform legislation for greater clarity and equality in the legal system.
