Commercial Contracting Sales, Leases, and Computer Information

Francis J. Mootz III, David Frisch, and Peter Alces

This innovative book includes cases, problems, note materials and questions, as well as excerpts from law review articles and other secondary sources that explain the fit among the contemporary sources of Commercial Contracting Law. While the authors emphasize Uniform Commercial Code Articles 1 (as revised) and 2 (as enacted), but there are liberal references to Article 2A, UCITA, UETA, E-Sign, and the CISG to provide a sophisticated yet accessible presentation of the legal rules and principles that govern contemporary sales, leasing, and computer information transactions.

Contemporary commercial contracting presents considerable pedagogical challenges. The authors provide a text that clearly explains the basic commercial context for the rule in question, and then provide materials that enable students to delve into more complex issues. Commercial Contracting: Sales, Leases, and Computer Information includes the cases that have continued to define commercial law for years as well as the most recent decisions that have changed the way we think about commercial contracting. The cases are complemented by extensive problems, permitting the instructor to emphasize either the case or problem approach. The authors have also integrated text and excerpts from treatises and law review articles that both put the issues in transactional context and test the limits of commercial codification. A comprehensive Teacher's Manual is available, and the authors also will provide sample syllabi, teaching notes, and PowerPoint¨ slides that they have found work well in teaching the course.

A Teacher's Manual is available to professors.

By doing so, this book seeks to familiarize students with laws governing the foreign companies US attorneys may increasingly need to deal with in a global economy, to clarify United States corporate law by examining how other systems address the same concerns, to challenge students’ unquestioning assumption that the law du jour in the United States is, by definition, the best law, and to predict the direction of United States corporate law in the future given our history of borrowing from foreign corporate laws in the past. Subjects covered include taxonomy of business forms, choice of corporate law, creditor protection, corporate governance, mismanagement, insider trading, and takeovers.
Pass the bar!

Denise Riebe and Michael Hunter Schwartz

Pass the Bar! provides a comprehensive overview of the pre-bar review, bar review, and bar exam process. The authors demystify the bar exam process and take readers through the steps they need to follow to succeed.

Readers are given specific information about what to do during the year before their bar exams; checklists, exercises, and reflection questions; tips for studying and completing practice questions; and sample exam questions and answers to maximize their likelihood of bar exam success.

The book has been designed with several uses in mind:
- As the text for a for-credit law school bar preparation course;
- As a supplemental text for an upper-level doctrinal course, allowing professors to build students’ bar study skills in the context of learning a bar-tested subject;
- As a text for non-credit bar preparation workshops; or
- For students’ independent study.
The authors’ recommendations are grounded in educational and psychological research as well as their personal experiences in designing programs and preparing thousands of students to pass their bar exams. Readers will find the text user-friendly and its recommendations straightforward and practical.
“Once in awhile the perfect book comes along at the perfect time. Pass the Bar! is just such a book, arriving at the ideal time to help law students clear the last hurdle of the race they began when they started law school. The authors’ approach is both logical and powerful, and would immediately enhance any bar taker’s likelihood of success. I will happily recommend the book to generations of students as they prepare to cross the finish line of their challenging bar exam race.” — Professor Ruth Ann McKinney, Director of the Writing and Learning Resources Center, The University of North Carolina School of Law
