You have been sued by a former business partner over a dispute related to your now defunct business. You and your partner had disagreements because neither of you could agree as to what laws should apply related to the closure of the business. You have found a uniform law that you believe will resolve the issue. The uniform law has been passed by thirty states, but not the state in which you live. Your business partner has found two legal opinions issued by the highest court in your state, but those opinions are more than eighty years old. Between the two of you, you cannot find any other laws related to this issue. If one of you were to sue the other, would you expect a trial court to follow the uniform law that you have found or the eighty$-$year$-$old cases your former partner has found?
