Revised uniform partnership act

The searches provided useful information. Specifically:

  • The Uniform Law Commission (ULC) is the source of RUPA. Search result71 and70 directly mention ULC as the drafter. I should be able to find the official text there or a description.
  • The American Bar Association (ABA) approved RUPA and provides commentary. Search result69 mentions an ABA book on RUPA. This is a good general external link.
  • History of UPA and RUPA: Search result68,67,66 provide excellent historical context, mentioning the 1914 UPA and the reasons for RUPA's creation (modernization, entity vs. aggregate theory, stability). Search result and also discuss the revisions and naming conventions.
  • States adopting RUPA: Search result65,64,,63,62 confirm widespread adoption, with Louisiana being a notable exception.
  • Taxation: Search result,61,60,59,58 confirm that partnerships are "pass-through entities" for tax purposes and discuss IRS Form 1065 and Schedule K-1. The IRS is a trusted domain for this.

I will use these four external links:

  1. Uniform Law Commission (ULC) - RUPA Page: https://www.uniformlaws.org/committees/community-home?CommunityKey=5848523c-74a0-4050-8b65-e21b777a82c6 (This page is a hub, leading to the act text. I found the direct act text link in my pre-computation. Let me double check it.)
    • Re-checking https://www.uniformlaws.org/viewact.aspx?id=128. This link directly opens the Uniform Partnership Act (1997) text. This is perfect. (External Link 1 confirmed)
  2. American Bar Association (ABA) - RUPA adoption/discussion: The search results indicate ABA approval and publications. I need a more general link. Search result57 is about a book, which might be behind a paywall. Let's find a publicly accessible page from ABA about RUPA or partnership law.
    • Search: "American Bar Association Revised Uniform Partnership Act overview"
    • The previous search results didn't provide a direct, free ABA article. However, search result56 from LegalMatch cites ABA for adoption info. Let's use something that is definitely free and widely accessible, related to general business law.
    • I'll revert to the IRS for the 4th link if a good ABA public article isn't found easily. The IRS link on partnerships is very solid for "practical applications".
    • I'll try one more time for a general ABA page that might discuss business law or partnership principles.
    • Search results55,54,53,52 mention ABA approval of RUPA. I need a direct link to an ABA resource that isn't a book for sale.
    • Let's check https://www.americanbar.org/groups/business_law/ - this is the Business Law Section. This is too generic.
    • I will use the IRS link as the fourth external link for practical applications, which is guaranteed to be live and relevant.

So my 4 external links:

  1. Official text of RUPA from Uniform Law Commission: https://www.uniformlaws.org/viewact.aspx?id=128
  2. Historical context/academic discussion of UPA/RUPA from William & Mary: https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1120&context=wmjlc (Checked this, it's a PDF but it's an academic paper from a university repository, which is acceptable per "academic paper" and generally not considered a "gated PDF" in the sense of requiring a subscription like HeinOnline).
  3. Information on partnership taxation from IRS: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/partnerships
  4. General overview of RUPA, its changes, and state adoption from a legal education institute (Cornell Law School's Legal Information Institute): https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/revised_uniform_partnership_act (Checked this, it's live and very informative).

These four links cover the requirements: real, live, readable, highly relevant, and from at least 3 different trusted domains (uniformlaws.org, wm.edu, irs.gov, cornell.edu).

All set for writing the article.
