uniform law

Read a random definition: PUC

A quick definition of uniform law:

A uniform law is a law that is created by a group of lawyers from different backgrounds to help solve legal problems that need a lot of expertise or need to be the same across different states. The Uniform Law Commission (ULC) makes these laws and hopes that states will adopt them. Some examples of uniform laws are the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) and the Uniform Simultaneous Death Act. To learn more about the ULC and their current proposals, click here.

A more thorough explanation:

Uniform laws are laws that are created by a group of lawyers from different backgrounds. The goal is for states to adopt these laws so that legal issues can be addressed consistently across different states. The Uniform Law Commission (ULC) is responsible for creating these laws.

Examples of uniform laws include the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) and the Uniform Simultaneous Death Act. The UCCJEA helps determine which state has jurisdiction over child custody cases when parents live in different states. The Uniform Simultaneous Death Act helps determine how to distribute property when two people die at the same time.

These laws are important because they help ensure that legal issues are addressed consistently across different states. This can help prevent confusion and ensure that people are treated fairly under the law, no matter where they live.

Their bar pass rate is alright as well (not the best, but not the worst). The employment rate is also decently high...while biglaw is certainly achievable, it will be a challenge (top 1/4 of your class, most likely)
