The problem approach featured in Problems and Cases on Secured Transactions thoroughly engages students with imaginative scenarios, presenting the material as easily accessible and as manageable as possible without avoiding the intricacies of secured transactions. Students come to appreciate that the principal resource for the course is UCC Article 9 itself. While the casebook is an essential tool for study, the law is found in the Code. Problems and Cases on Secured Transactions is carefully designed for an introductory mainstream course, not for an advanced course or seminar. The material is presented as completely comprehensible, even enjoyable, rather than an arcane science that only an insider can be expected to understand. Cases are heavily edited, and liberal editorial notes help express the vibrancy of true-life situations. A good mix of short and long problems gives each lesson a comprehensive linear flow while keeping students focused. A progressive mix of problems helps students see the common elements, as rules and principals learned in a simpler setting can readily be applied to more complex transactions. Earlier problems lean more heavily, though not exclusively, on the individual and consumer-borrower situations. As the lessons advance, the mix of materials progressively includes more small-business and large-business transactions. Key Features of the New Edition: The latest on the 2010 Revisions to Article 9, in particular how the "name of the debtor" problem is now to be dealt with New legislative initiatives addressing the problem of so-called "bogus" or "harassing" filings Twelve new principal cases decided since 2010 bring the book up to date and better elucidate points to be made

The core of this law school casebook is an extensive set of hypothetical problems designed to force students to come to grips with Article 9 provisions directly, assuming that the student has just been hired as a junior in-house counsel for a mythical bank holding company. It then takes the student through the series of problems generated by various lending subsidiaries. The tone is light, with recurring characters, and footnotes which include the necessary Code citations and case citations to supplement the included materials. This book is intended for teachers who want an in depth treatment of Article 9, believe Article 9 need not be drudgery either for students or instructors, and have a sense of humor. The new edition adds some new problems and text and includes a substantial number of recent cases and secondary sources to the footnotes that will help students both answer the problems and extend their understanding of the concepts being covered.

The Fourth Edition continues the emphasis on real-life problems and transactions that has distinguished these teaching materials for decades. As in previous editions, the Problems are tailored to focus the student's attention on the relevant statutory language and its application to common patterns of secured financing. They emphasize counseling, planning, drafting, and litigation skills. In addition to more traditional Problems, which ask the student to predict the outcome, many of the Problems ask the student to give advice to clients, to structure transactions, and to draft certain provisions of documents. As in the Third Edition, many of the Problems are based upon Prototype transactions that feature actual transaction documents. The first'financing an automobile dealer's inventory and financing a consumer buyer's purchase of an automobile from the dealer'affords the basis for a discussion of basic Article 9 concepts in a concrete setting. The second Prototype features an accounts and inventory ?borrowing-base? secured credit facility and includes a revolving credit agreement and security agreement. This Prototype forms the basis for detailed coverage of various types of financing secured by receivables and other intangible property.

Secured Transactions: Problems and Materials combines original material with recent cases to teach students about secured financing under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Students learn how to identify basic Article 9 issues and craft solutions for them. The book begins with an explanation of secured versus unsecured financing and addresses how transactions were handled before the institution of Article 9. It then discusses specific aspects of Article 9 including its scope, creating and protecting a security interest, priorities, exceptions, fixtures, proceeds, and enforcement. The book is built around a series of problems that connect the cases and original material to the text of Article 9. The original material clarifies and contextualizes the legal issues, providing background and support. The cases demonstrate how legal principles are applied in the real world, enabling students to understand automatic perfection, certificates of title, statutory liens, commercial reasonableness, and more. The revised first edition features updated information regarding laws and legislation, as well as new cases for the chapters on repossessing fixtures and proceeds. Secured Transactions successfully balances the study of law and its application. It is an ideal book for foundational courses in secured transactions. Larry Bates earned his J.D. from the Marquette University School of Law and his LL.M. from Harvard Law School. He spent nine years in practice as a corporate bankruptcy specialist before joining the faculty of Baylor Law School, where he teaches contracts and commercial law, including international and domestic sales law and secured transactions. Professor Bates also serves as the faculty advisor for the Baylor Law Review. He has written extensively on commercial law and bankruptcy and is a member of the American Bar Association committee responsible for overseeing the National Appellate Advocacy Competition.
