United States Electronic Signature Law

 

When did a U.S. Court first rule in support of the enforcement of an electronic agreement?

The year was 1869 and while the signature at that time might not be what you would think of as something we would use today, it was accepted through the use of a telegram. Fast forward 130 years and electronic signatures are well underway to being something many people use. In 1999 the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act was adopted to remove barriers to electronic commerce. This video reviews the UETA, as well as the E-Sign Act and their rules on electronic records.
