Uniform Law Foundation

The Uniform Law foundation is dedicated to the guiding principle that uniformity of state law, on all subjects where uniformity is desirable and practicable, contributes to the general welfare of the citizens of the United States (1) by facilitating commerce, (2) by increasing understanding of and respect for the laws of the States and (3) by assisting the citizens of the States in their pursuit of the benefits of a free society. In furtherance of its guiding principle, the foundation promotes uniformity of state laws by making funds available for study, research and development, and educational efforts, carried out by, or in support of the activities of, the national conference of commissioners on Uniform state laws. When making direct grants or loans to the national conference of commissioners on Uniform state laws, the foundation supplements the funds provided to the national conference of commissioners on Uniform state laws by its constituent governmental entities and other sources. The foundation also furthers its guiding principle by serving as a financial resource to assure that the national conference of commissioners on Uniform state laws is able to continue its essential activities without interruption in all circumstances.
