Model act & Uniform act
[edit]It looks to me that these articles should be merged somehow. ImTheIP (talk) 17:07, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
- They're not the same thing. Uniform act refers specifically to ULC-produced acts which in theory are supposed to reflect a multi-state consensus due to the broadly representative nature of ULC's membership, which is dominated by lawyers. Because so many lawyers are reading, revising, and voting on each uniform act, there is a strong connotation of quality that goes along with the term.
- Model act is a much broader term referring to acts proposed by a variety of organizations who are not necessarily representative of all states in the same way as ULC. That means model acts tend to be more uneven in quality. --Coolcaesar (talk) 11:17, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
- A uniform act is a model act drafted by ULC and intended to be enacted verbatim or almost verbatim. That's it. Most of the content on this page could probably go to the Uniform Law Commission page itself. ImTheIP (talk) 19:10, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
