Preface

Bankruptcy and Article 9: 2025 Statutory Supplement is smaller, lighter, and more portable than competing supplements. The supplement includes the entirety of UCC Articles 1, 9, and 12, as well as key excerpts from UCC Articles 2 and 8. For a bankruptcy course, the supplement also has the federal Bankruptcy Code, select provisions from the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the bankruptcy crimes provisions from Title 18 of the United States Code, and the bankruptcy jurisdictional provisions from Title 28. Other statutes important for a commercial law course are included: Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Voidable Transactions Act, Uniform Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title and Anti-Theft Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and Federal Tax Lien Act.

Professors and students will benefit from:

  • Careful curation of necessary statutory provisions for use in bankruptcy and secured transactions courses avoiding the bulk of unnecessary statutes.
