4 classroom credits LAW-32200A Spring
Secured credit fuels the American economy. This course which used to be one of the five required 2L courses, deals primarily with various aspects of the use of credit and collateral in sale and loan transactions, ranging from routine consumer purchases to complex business transactions. This is a course on commercial lawyering in the context of problems of statutory interpretation (primarily Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and Federal Bankruptcy Law) and policy in meeting the needs, and reconciling the interests, of the various parties to secured transactions--consumers, manufacturers, dealers, lenders, insurers, and the government. The focus is on the appropriate advice for a lawyer to give in a particular factual setting.
