I have spent more than twenty years working with the Uniform Commercial Code. During this time, I have published a casebook and numerous articles analyzing the Code. At present I am a designated observer for the drafting committees revising Articles 1, 2 and 9. I am also preparing a history of the Code.

For an inventory of the UCC drafts, you should consult the University of Pennsylvania Law School website . The drafts posted at these sights may be downloaded in a form that can be readily read by word processing programs.

The latest drafts posted on the University of Pennsylvania website are:

1. Article 1--General Provisions (NCCUSL annual meeting, July-August 1997)
2. Article 2--Sales (May 1, 1998)
3. Article 2A--Leases ( NCCUSL annual meeting, July-August 1997)
4. Article 2B--Licenses ( August 1, 1998 )
5. Article 9--Secured Transactions (Pre-Final Official Draft, as approved, NCCUSL, July 30, 1998)

The two sponsors of the Uniform Commercial Code are the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and the American Law Institute .
