Progress continues to be made throughout the United States on the passage of the U.E.L.M.A (the Uniform Electronic Legal Materials Act). On May 17th, Governor Daniel Malloy of Connecticut signed SB 235, making the state the sixth one to enact it. Several other states have bills pending in their legislatures.
