CLE/Speaker Series

Friday, 3/20: Who Should Write State Laws? The Role of Uniform Model Legislation

Recently there has been significant controversy as to the appropriate role of model or uniform legislation drafted by groups other than members of the State Legislature. To what extent should the Arizona legislature adopt proposed bills that come from law reform groups or interest groups that may have a stake in the legislation? Four members of the Arizona Uniform Law Commission will discuss the issues, explain the Uniform Law process, and highlight the different methods by which model legislation is drafted and presented to legislatures for adoption.

• Barbara Atwood, Mary Anne Richey Professor of Law Emerita, University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law
• Timothy J. Berg, Fennemore Craig
• Michael T. Liburdi, Judge, United States District Court for the District of Arizona
• Samuel A. Thumma, Judge, Arizona Court of Appeals, Division One
