Glee Smith, of counsel with the Barber Emerson law firm in Lawrence, was among 250 attorneys, judges, law professors, legislators and other state officials participating in the 2007 annual meeting of the Uniform Law Commission, conducted recently in Pasadena, Calif.

Smith has been a Kansas uniform law commissioner since 1963 and has attended every annual meeting since his appointment.

The ULC is composed of more than 300 commissioners who draft and promote enactment of uniform laws that are designed to solve problems common to all states. Commissioners donate their time as a public service.

The four acts approved at the recent meeting deal with issues ranging from multistate jurisdictional disputes concerning adult guardianships to new rules on electronic information.
