Established in 1892, a non-profit unincorporated association comprised of more than 300 attorneys that studies and reviews state laws to determine which areas of the law should be uniform. Also known as the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, the commissioners draft and propose specific statutes, which can then be adopted by state legislatures.

The Uniform Law Commission is best known for its work on the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). In response to society's increasing reliance on technology, the Uniform Law Commission promulgated the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) and the Uniform Real Property Electronic Act (URPERA). For a discussion on the application of the UETA and URPERA to real estate transactions, see Practice Note, Electronic Signatures, Recording, and Notarization Laws for Real Estate Transactions: Overview.
