Talk:Uniform Law Commission

message: I do not understand the reasoning behind this organization. If the point is to get uniformity among the states, isn't that what the United States Congress is for? I mean, certainly the whole states rights versus federal rights thing comes in, but if a matter is truely meant to be a uniform law, then why doesn't this organization lobby the US House or Senate to pass these bills? └Jared┘┌t┐  22:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Organization renamed to the Uniform Law Commission 

message: "Established in 1892, the ULC provides states with non-partisan, well-conceived and well-drafted legislation that brings clarity and stability to critical areas of state statutory law." "The [ULC's] generous and well-intended efforts". This is nothing but a puff piece and an ad. 71.231.59.239 (talk) 22:37, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Propaganda Piece 

message: The line in the lead, "Established in 1892, the ULC aims to provide U.S. states (plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) with well-researched and drafted legislation to bring clarity and stability to critical areas of statutory law across jurisdictions. The ULC promotes enactment of uniform acts in areas of state law where uniformity is desirable and practical.". While this may all be true, it's seems clearly a opinion rather then a fact. I'd imagine that a significant number of people might disagree with the idea that it provides "well-researched and drafted legislation" tthat "bring(s) clarity and stability to critical areas of statutory law across jurisdictions.". There could also be disagreement that "The ULC promotes enactment of uniform acts in areas of state law where uniformity is desirable and practical.".". As such, we need to state who is describing them in this manor, themselves or some outside party. If that is their stated purpose then let's make that clear without appearing to blindly accept that premise. We should change it to say something "They describe themselves as...." or "X, Y, and Z has describes them as..." rather then making the claim in the Wikipedia voice. Also, I don't know much about the ULC but if their are any criticisms of them then that should be included in the article. Once they where a major force behind the heavily controversial and criticized Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA), surely they received some flak over how they drafted that model law. --Notcharliechaplin (talk) 21:07, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: In my opinion, the wording "the ULC aims to" is nearly equivalent in meaning to "the ULC describes its purpose as" or something similar: Both are descriptions of how they view themselves. I don't think that part is problematic. I can see your point on "The ULC promotes..." however, but I don't think the first part needs to be changed.
