UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE: Article 1 & Article 2

UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE: Article 1 & Article 2

This version of the UCC, Articles 1 & 2, is an ideal reference work for law students in a first year contracts course, or for anyone taking a comparative sales law course.

It is based on the laws of the state of Nebraska--an up to date enactment of the model code which conveniently includes annotations and comments. Some textually minor (though legally significant) differences between the laws of Nebraska, the laws of Florida and Massachusetts, and the model version of the UCC are noted in the text as illustrations.

This publication gives the student an essentially complete version of UCC Articles 1 & 2 without the editing found in many paper based publications. It allows the student to have a version of the UCC handy at all times--without the need to carry around a cumbersome physical book.

The editor believes that educators do students a disservice if they do not expose students to actual versions of the UCC by their exclusive use of the model version of the UCC. Important differences exist between the model code and actual versions of the code in sections often focused on in a first year course: Section 2-201 (statute of frauds), Section 2-207 (battle of the forms) and Section 2-725 (statute of limitations). These differences are noted and explained with reference to actual enacted versions of the UCC. This enhances the process of learning and understanding. Students will see first hand why they must consult actual law, rather than the model UCC, when addressing any real world legal problem. Indeed, the failure to do so will constitute malpractice. Using this version of the UCC as a teaching tool gets students started in their legal careers by reinforcing the practice of consulting actual law.

This publication has been formatted for the new world of electronic publication by including the concept of "Quick Links" at the start of each article--an abbreviated table of contents which includes only section numbers. This allows easier navigation within the electronic publication--enhancing the user's experience.

The publication includes an introduction to the UCC and an explanation of the types of differences--both substantive and stylistic--that exist between actual enactments of the UCC and the model version. This discussion further motivates and explains the decision to teach the UCC by including actual statutes as part of the curriculum.
