Abstract
Commercial law in the United States is the product of centuries of development. For many years, apart from the common law influences of our mother country, the development of commercial norms and commercial laws in the United States occurred with relatively little regard for international norms and international commercial law developments. Indeed, for many scholars in the United States looking at the development of commercial law norms, the study of commercial law had been primarily inwardly focused, for example, on the role of entities such as the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and the American Law Institute in the process, or the appropriate allocation of responsibility between the states and the federal government.
