Learning Commercial Law Core Concepts

This book for a Uniform Commercial Code survey course makes key concepts from the UCC clear and understandable, and presents the material in a format that encourages students to take the course and teachers to teach it. The book is designed for coverage in a 2 or 3-hour survey course, and covers the most significant provisions of Uniform Commercial Code Article 2 (Sales), Article 9 (Secured Transactions), and Articles 3 and 4 (Payment Systems). The start of each chapter highlights key learning objectives to allow students to fully master the material. Salient provisions of the Code have been selected and excerpted, along with cogent textual explanations and examples that bring the provisions to life, and realistic problems that test the students' understanding and provide the starting point for class discussion. The text is designed to give a high-level overview of critical concepts from the Uniform Commercial Code, without requiring students to take several more specialized courses.
