Subject: {Disarmed} [CollabLaw] Uniform Collaborative Law Act
The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws [NCCUSL]
has authorized and appointed a drafting committee to write a Uniform
Collaborative Law Act. Peter Munson, Sherman, Texas, is Chair of the
Drafting Committee. I am also a member of the committee. Law Professor
Andrew Schepard of Hofstra University will serve as Reporter. The first
meeting is scheduled for next spring. Location not yet determined.
NCCUSL will solicit observers to participate in the drafting project.
Doubtlessly IACP will be invited to participate. Observers travel at
their own expense, usually reimbursed by their sponsoring organization.
Typically these projects require 2-3 years to complete. The drafts are
read line by line at the annual meeting of NCCUSL and then sent to the
American Bar Association for endorsement. Drafting meetings usually
occur every spring and fall until completed. The meetings last 2 1/2
days. Observers play a critical part in the drafting process as the
observers bring the needed expertise to the drafting table. Observers
are full particpants in the work but do not vote. However, all decisions
are ususally by consensus.
Respectfully submitted, Harry L Tindall, Uniform Law Commissioner, Texas
