Model Penal Code
From Criminal Defense Wiki
Background
Drafted from 19542 to 1962 by lawyers from the American Law Institute, the Model Penal Code was written in an attempt to bring uniformity and simplicity to the very complex common law doctrine that had evolved in the United States. Since its first publication, the Model Penal Code has provided the basis for legislation in over two-thirds of American states. Many have adopted portions. New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Oregon have enacted most of the provisions.
