"Secured Credit": A Systems Approach, Second Edition, simplifies the conceptually complex policies o the secured credit system to facilitate student understanding. Designed for teaching by the problem method, the casebook cuts across traditional course boundaries to present Article 9 transactions as they occur in real life.The authors draw on their years of legal scholarship and teaching excellence to refine and extend their systems approach. By addressing the reality of the system, not just the legal doctrine, he authors illuminate underlying intellectual questions. They also apply the systems approach to security interests outside the scope of Article 9, such as real estate mortgages.Materials in the book are divided into assignments which are appropriate for a 50-60 minute class. Each assignment contains carefully-selected problems that involve the students in case strategy and planning. The class-tested problems build in difficulty to led students through the basics to more sophisticated issues.
I really wanted to give this book one star, but I couldn't. It was just too well put together. LoPucki and Warren have created an awesome book. It has everything you could ever want to know, plus 708 pages of stuff you don't want to.
