In 2010 the LEDES Oversight Committee reviewed the original ABA UTBMS code sets and, without modifying the codes in any way, created expanded definitions to provide greater information on how the codes should be used. The purpose of this project was to provide guidance for non-US based legal vendors required to use the codes who did not thoroughly understand the US legal process for which the codes were developed. The end result is this LOC 2011 Universal UTBMS Definitions document.
This document is intended for to supplement only the original ABA Code Sets released in 1997 and not any other code set.
