  Uniform Commercial Code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is one of the uniform acts that has been promulgated in attempts to harmonize the law of sales and other commercial transactions in the fifty state in the United States of America.

Louisiana, the sole holdout, has enacted most of the Code, but because that state's commercial law is based on civil law and the Napoleonic Code rather than on common law, it is difficult to harmonize procedure and terminology with the UCC.
