What does Allonge mean in American Law?
The definition of Allonge in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:
A piece of paper so firmly attached to a bill of exchange or promissory note that it becomes a part thereof. On it, valid endorsements may be written when there is no room left on the instrument itself. How firmly attached it must be may (as usual) turn out to be a sticky question; a paper clip pretty dearly will not do; paste will; a staple is questionable. See U.C.C. § 3-202(2) and comment 3.
