Four uniform acts – the Uniform Collaborative Law Act, the Uniform Consumer Debt Default Judgments Act, the Uniform Special Deposits Act, and the Uniform Unlawful Restrictions in Land Records Act – have been approved by the American Bar Association's House of Delegates as "appropriate Acts for those states desiring to adopt the specific substantive law suggested therein."  The acts were approved at the ABA's 2024 Midyear Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky, January 31 to February 5, 2024.  These acts were drafted and approved by the Uniform Law Commission.

Uniform Collaborative Law Act.  The Uniform Collaborative Law Act (UCLA) regulates the use of collaborative law, a voluntary, client-driven form of alternative dispute resolution. It may be enacted by legislation, court rule, or a combination of the two.  The UCLA standardizes the most important features of the collaborative law process, protecting consumers, preventing lawyers from engaging in unethical practices, and creating rules governing the disclosure of information and evidentiary privilege.  The UCLA was approved by the ULC in 2009 and amended in 2010.  Since its promulgation, it has been enacted in 23 states.
