A uniform act (model state statute) Thomas Mitchell helped draft for the Uniform Law Commission became law in Connecticut in July. Connecticut is the sixth state to enact into law the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act, which aims to produce fairer outcomes in the division or sale of land involving tenancy-in-common property (commonly referred to as heirs' property). Mitchell served as reporter, or principal drafter, for the act.
