A HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF COMMISSIONERS ON UNIFORM STATE LAWS.
- Authors
DUNHAM, ALLISON
- Abstract
The article presents a brief account of the history of the Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and also offers an analysis of the successes and failures of the National Conference of Commissioners of the U.S. As stated, the real indicia of conference's success and failure is the total commitment of a few commissioners to the principle of uniformity and to the subject matter of particular acts. Because, without such total commitment very few significant reforms and advances are expected to occur anywhere in the society. So, more than 80 per cent of the states in the country adopted the Uniform Commercial Code by 1965 without the total commitment of Commissioner to the code and to its adoption.
