He was a scholar of commercial law and one of the principal drafters of the Uniform Commercial Code.

Gilmore attended Boston Latin School and then went on to Yale University, where he earned a Ph.D. in Romance languages. Prior to his career in law, he taught French language/French at Yale University.

He authored a number of books on various areas of commercial law, including secured transactions, admiralty law, and contract law, and also drafted Uniform_Commercial_Code#Article_9/Article Nine of the Uniform Commercial Code. Perhaps his most famous work is his survey and criticism of contract law, The Death of Contract.
