While the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) serves as a comprehensive set of model laws governing commercial transactions in the United States, no state has adopted it in its entirety. Each state has modified certain provisions to better fit its legal framework and specific needs. As a result, there are variations in the UCC's application across states, which can affect businesses operating in multiple jurisdictions. These adaptations reflect local legal traditions and priorities within the broader context of commercial law.

U.C.C. is secondary authority. U.C.C. and Model Penal Code are both proposed statutes that CAN be adopted by legislature. They are similar to the Restatements. They are only proposed ideas (although intricate). Courts can rely on them if there is no similar precedent. They are secondary authority.
