May not also enroll in Commercial Law Survey

This course covers Articles 2 (Sales) of the Uniform Commercial Code with selected references to Article 2A (Leases). Issues relating to scope, formation of contract, warranties, risk of loss, performance and remedies will be emphasized. Frequent references to the common law of contracts will be offered to compare and contrast with Article 2 material. Faculty comments : Students are encouraged to apply the uniform commercial code to an interesting and often challenging variety of problem-based fact situations. The desired result is not only to provide the students with an opportunity to develop a high level of expertise but to become comfortable with working through various code sections in search of an appropriate resolution to a particular problem. While active class participation is both sought and appreciated, it is not graded. There is, however, a required graded comprehensive essay exam.
