The core of this law school casebook is an extensive set of hypothetical problems designed to force students to come to grips with Article 9 provisions directly, assuming that the student has just been hired as a junior in-house counsel for a mythical bank holding company. It then takes the student through the series of problems generated by various lending subsidiaries. The tone is light, with recurring characters, and footnotes which include the necessary Code citations and case citations to supplement the included materials. This book is intended for teachers who want an in depth treatment of Article 9, believe Article 9 need not be drudgery either for students or instructors, and have a sense of humor. The new edition adds some new problems and text and includes a substantial number of recent cases and secondary sources to the footnotes that will help students both answer the problems and extend their understanding of the concepts being covered.

"The sixth edition of this clear and concise Understanding treatise thoroughly incorporates and explains the 2022 Amendments to the Uniform Commercial Code. These amendments created a new Article 12 governing the holding and transfer of digital assets such as virtual currencies and non-fungible tokens. Significant portions of Article 9, the main subject of the book, were amended to facilitate the use of these assets as collateral for loans and other obligations. In describing these amendments, this edition explains inherently complex topics related to emerging technologies clearly, so that those without a background in technology may readily understand them. The new edition also expands its coverage of existing concepts, providing numerous examples to help the reader apply legal principles to many different types of commercial finance transactions. The chapter on the effects of bankruptcy on secured transactions has been thoroughly revised and expanded and provides the most comprehensive explanation of that topic available anywhere"--
