Commercial Law

3 units

This course is designed to familiarize students with some aspects of the law relating to payments and secured transactions. The majority of class time will be spent working through casebook problems that require an application of Uniform Commercial Code provisions to particular fact situations. Articles 3, 4, and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code will be the principal focus of the course. The largest portion of the course will be devoted to Article 9, which covers secured transactions. The remainder of the course will cover Articles 3 and 4, which govern the checking system, and we will also cover the federal law that governs credit and debit card transactions. Attendance and preparation are required. The final grade will be based on a single three-hour final exam.
