Cases and Materials on Sales


Book Description

The objectives of the Seventh Edition are twofold: to help the student understand the substantive law of sales and develop the skills of statutory analysis in the context of a comprehensive statute that contains critical definitions and numerous cross references. The materials consist of cases, text, and problems. The cases are selected because of their effectiveness as teaching materials, presenting difficult legal questions and explaining the business background of the disputes. The notes elaborate on the background and push the student to question the rationale of the court. The problems further explore the soundness of the court's decision and present new issues of statutory analysis for the student to consider. They require the student to dig deeply into the language of the statute and the Official Comments, working back and forth among the various sections that are relevant to solving the problem.

Sales and Leases


Book Description

The second edition of a book on sales and leases of goods by two of the country's leading experts in commercial law. The book uses a problem-based approach to help students master the applicable legal rules, understand how the law applies to both simple and complex commercial transactions, and learn how to use the law in planning transactions and drafting agreements. The book consists primarily of text and carefully sequenced problems. Many of the problems ask students to apply the law to a set of facts. Others do the reverse, asking students to identify a set of facts to which a specific rule applies. The remainder prompt students to think about the policies underlying the law or how the law affects commercial behavior or do a bit of contract drafting.




Sales


Book Description

The second edition of Sales: Cases and Problems has been carefully crafted to enable students to master the concepts and rules that govern sales of goods within all but one of the states and territories of the United States. Because sales of goods are governed by Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, the focus is on close examination of its statutory provisions and the resolution of problems by application of the concepts and rules from the texts of those provisions. Although the book contains carefully selected and well-edited cases, its focus is primarily on problem solving. The book introduces straightforward subject matter through succinct explanations. It provides pertinent sections of the relevant statute and then follows up with a set of modern problems created to focus on the legal principles in each statutory section. The book reminds students of underlying common law rules and principles of equity but avoids excursions into issues on the fringes of sales law, in favor of concentration on what is essential for bar passage and entry level practice. The coursebook is extremely user-friendly for students and is written by teachers for teachers. For professors who adopt the book, there is an extraordinarily thorough teacher's manual and carefully designed, instructive PowerPoint slides. The teacher's manual includes the full text of each problem along with a discussion of issues raised and an explanation of the appropriate responses, so that professors need not consult their coursebooks during class. The teacher's manual also includes references to specific accompanying PowerPoint slides that signal when they are to be used in the presentation. The book includes citations and quotations of texts that should shed light on doctrinal points that are likely to arise. The full set of 1000 PowerPoint slides is available upon adoption.

Sales


Book Description

This book uses samples of sales contracts and problems drawn from actual case files to engage students in the role of a lawyer involved in a sales transaction. With the exception of the introductory and conclusion chapters, each chapter starts with a problem to analyze and resolve during study of that chapter. This book is unique due to its emphasis on deconstructing statutes and using a variety of visual aids to help students become experts in the application of the law to facts to solve a problem. The second edition retains the style, format, and teaching and learning goals of the first edition, but some cases have been added, and some textual materials, problems and exercises have been revised, supplemented, or updated. This book is part of the Context and Practice Series, edited by Michael Hunter Schwartz, Professor of Law and Dean of the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific.
