LAW 434 - Commercial Law Survey

This three (3) hour course will survey the law of commercial transactions within the scope of the three primary areas of the Uniform Commercial Code: (1) Sales transactions governed by Article 2 of the UCC; (2) Secured transactions governed by Article 9 of the UCC; and (3) Payment transactions governed, primarily, by Articles 3 and 4 of the UCC. There may also be consideration of complementary areas of commercial law (e.g., Article 5, “Letters of Credit”) and consumer protection law (state and federal). Students will approach the subjects from both litigation and transactional perspectives. Students who have taken the separate Sales or Secured Transactions courses would not be eligible to enroll.
