Wonderful, Great, Fantastic.

With a few weeks left to go before finals, I relied almost solely on this book to prepare me for the UCC half of my UCC/CISG International Sales course. I worked through each chapter, answered the questions, and basically created an outline from the text and model answers. The exam wound up being almost all UCC Article 2. I got an A. And I'm not really an A student. Buy it!!

Excellent revision for law students

I really like the examples and explanations series and the Sales and Leases book is no exception. Those looking for quick reference will certainly be better served by a number of more concise books in outline form but if you want a workbook style book that really makes you grapple with the contents of the UCC and figure out how to apply the law then this is for you (doesn't sound like something anyone in their right mind would want to do, but for law school exams its great). James Brook has a very engaging writing style which makes a dry subject much more palatable than many of the other outlines I've seen.

First-rate, down-to-earth exposition

I am baffled at the negative reviews. Maybe those reviewers were trying to get a quick fix the night before the final. Anyone who disparages the book because it requires them to look up the statute, or because the author has neglected to key it to their particular casebook, is too pampered to be in law school, or to be a lawyer. A diligent student who uses this book through the course will find it clear, concrete, and immensely useful.

thankgoodness!

Looking up the statutes was helpful & it is important to read through the explanations of all the answers to understand a particular statute or statutes. I found the analysis in the hypotheticals very helpful since his answers are exactly how our professor wanted them to be - "open ended". And yes, I did well!

Must have for Law Students

Abolutely outstanding examples. Clear and concise writing from one of the foremost experts on the topic makes this class a breeze.
