Practice Under Article 9 of the UCC

Practice under Article 9 of the UCC, Second Edition is a comprehensive guide for lawyers facilitating secured transactions. This updated edition summarizes the provisions of Article 9 as it was revised and as it is contained in the 2010 Official Text of the UCC. The 2010 Official Text includes the 2002 revision of Article 1 of the UCC and the 2003 revision of Article 7 of the UCC, with conforming amendments to Article 9. The 2010 Official Text also includes the amendments to Article 9 promulgated in 2010 (the "2010 amendments"). The "2010 amendments" address a narrow set of issues, but do not change the basic structure of Article 9 and are expected to become effective on July 1, 2013.
