Together, the four co-authors have taught bankruptcy courses at more than 20 very different law schools; one of them sat as a bankruptcy judge for nine years; and all four have substantial practice experience. Drawing on their diverse experience, they have prepared original text, problems, and edited cases with three goals in mind: (1) introduce students to one new bankruptcy concept at a time, (2) show students the connection among the various concepts and (3) give the students a sense of how these bankruptcy concepts are utilized in both the smallest personal and largest business bankruptcy cases.

This book combines UCC Articles 2 (sales) and 9 (secured transaction) for either a three- or four-hour course focusing on business sales (B2B) and commercial financing.

The book mixes explanatory text, cases, and problems to support a variety of teaching and learning styles. And statutory provisions themselves are reprinted when and where they are referenced so there is no need to hunt for them in or outside the book. The problems include actual, recent bar examination questions interspersed throughout the book for comprehensive review. The book covers everything that is fundamentally important in both sales and secured transactions in ways and means that allow students to manage and benefit from the wide, integrated coverage.

This interactive course and companion text considers the extent to which people with legal training, but no practice license, can use the law, as a social and economic variable, to better manage risk without fear of prosecution or civil liability.

The debate gets hotter each day over what nonlawyers, people or computers, can do without running afoul of unauthorized practice of law restrictions.
