Problems and Cases on Secured Transactions
Description:
Straightforward, back-to-basics approach, engaging problems: Problems and Cases on Secured Transactions is exactly the right casebook to introduce students to the intricacies of UCC Article 9 and modern secured financing. With an artful combination of textual material, detailed citations to the UCC, engaging problems and questions, and well-edited cases, James Brook demonstrates to students that this material need not be impenetrable but can be not only completely comprehensible but enjoyable as well.
When you examine a copy of this casebook, notice the many features that are bound to make it a tremendous asset in your classroom:
- presents the material, which so many students find daunting on first approach, as easily accessible and as manageable as possible without oversimplification or avoiding difficult aspects of the topic
- uses the problem-based approach with thoroughly engaging and imaginative scenarios that draw students in, encouraging the user to appreciate goals, concerns, opportunities and risks from each party’s perspective.
- problems progress from simple to more complex, giving students the opportunity to appreciate the common elements and internalize the idea that rules and principals learned in a simpler setting can readily be applied to more complex transactions. Earlier problems lean more heavily, though not exclusively, on the individual and consumer-borrower situations; later problems include progressively more small-business and large-business transactions
- cases are heavily edited, with editorial notes liberally used to fill in the blanks, while maintaining the underlying “story” that is present in all cases
- helps student appreciate that the principal resource for the course is UCC Article 9 as found the statutory supplement. Professor Brook reinforces the concept that the casebook is a tool to be used for study, in preparing before class and during class as a guide or outline for discussion, but that the law is found in the Code
- usable with either original or Revised version of Article 1
- a comprehensive Teacher’s manual and a companion website for adopters that will include regular updates and a possible forum for ongoing discussion with other users
If you want an accessible, engaging, problem-based casebook to teach secured transactions, be sure to examine a copy of Problems and Cases on Secured Transactions before you teach your next course.
