UELMA

What is UELMA?

UELMA is an acronym for the "Uniform Electronic Legal Material Act." UELMA is a uniform act adopted by the Nation Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. The act is intended to provide states with

That is, the goals of the authentication and preservation program outlined in the act are to enable end-users to verify the trustworthiness of the legal material they are using and to provide a framework for states to preserve legal material in perpetuity in a manner that allows for permanent access.
