Commercial Law

Along with the addition of Steven D. Walt, the major feature of the Fifth Edition of Jordan, Warren & Walt, Commercial Law, will be the full integration of Revised Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, which promises to be enacted in a large number of states by the time of its effective date, July 1, 2001. The culmination of nearly a decade of work, the new Article 9 is a major revision & extension of secured transactions law; the interpretation of its complex provisions will challenge teachers & students for many years. The materials on Payments & Letters of Credit will be updated as courts continue to hand down important cases on the new uniform acts in these areas.
