Sales: Problems and Materials

Sales: Problems and Materials give students a basic understanding of sales of goods transactions and how Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is applied to them. Built around a series of problems, the book connects real case studies and the author's original material directly to the text of Article 2.

The text discusses the scope of the code, how it functions when circumstances of a transaction change, remedies for breach of contract, and the risk of loss. Other topics include performance, warranties, and title. Students learn how the code is a system of inter-related rules that work together to facilitate the sale of goods and resolve related disputes.

The revised first edition features revisions throughout to ensure the content is accurate and up-to-date. Additionally, the problems have been updated or replaced based on student feedback.

Sales: Problems and Materials helps students recognize the UCC as the primary source of commercial law. It gives students a level of comfort and confidence with Article 2 that will enable them to effectively address the needs of their clients once they enter into practice. The book is ideal for law courses that cover sales transactions.
