Perspectives on the Uniform Commercial Code by Douglas E. Litowitz Pdf

Now published in a revised second edition, Perspectives on the Uniform Commercial Code remains the sole anthology of seminal readings on the history, jurisprudence, personalities, controversies, and current scholarship on the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). Intended as a supplemental teaching tool for law school courses on commercial law, this anthology is designed to pique the interests of law students by presenting the UCC as a living, experimental text with economic and political dimensions. The format -- short and focused excerpts followed by a single discussion question -- is specifically designed to hold students' attention and to generate classroom discussion. The anthology begins with a useful introduction to the UCC, and then provides key readings on the history and drafting of the UCC, including selections from its principal drafters and its critics. The anthology has separate chapters on such topics as: how the UCC was enacted; the personality and vision of Karl Llewellyn; the jurisprudence of the UCC; how to interpret the official text and comments; debates surrounding the federalization of commercial law; whether the amendment process is flawed; the limits of property and commoditization; and a look at cutting-edge scholarship on the UCC. Students and professors alike will find the anthology a wonderful complement to the standard materials assigned in commercial law classes. "Carolina Academic Press should be congratulated for producing this wonderful volume. This is a winner!" -- Bimonthly Review of Law Books, Nov/Dec 2002, on the first edition "These readings offer student readers a variety of lenses through which to understand the UCC, not as a dogmatic recitation of the dictates of commercial law, but rather as a contestable, socially constructed set of rules about which arguments can be made and from which alternative commercial worlds might be created." -- Harvard Law Review

Comparative Perspectives on the Chinese Civil Code by Meiling Huang,Paul J. du Plessis Pdf

This book provides a comparative analysis of Chinese property law as depicted in the newly enacted Chinese Civil Code. The Chinese Civil Code, the first civil code in the history of the People’s Republic of China, was enacted as law in May 2020. Reflecting the growing interest in this code and its provisions to scholars of codification and of comparative private law, it has already been translated into English, German, and Italian. Chinese property law has both local and global features, and this comparative study offers a channel through which to understand Chinese property law, by highlighting both its similarities and differences from other property systems. Broadly speaking, the book brings together two approaches. The first comprises a comprehensive discussion of aspects of Chinese property law, such as ownership, property rights, and secured transactions. The second consists of perspectives from other jurisdictions and provides an assessment of Chinese property law based on other property systems. Containing contributions by both distinguished and young scholars, who are experienced in comparative property law research, the book offers a unique insight into the Chinese Civil Code and, through it, how extra-civilian elements are embodied in a fundamentally civilian legal system. This book will appeal to scholars and students of property law, comparative law, and others with specific interests in law and politics in China.

Codifying Contract Law by Mary Keyes,Therese Wilson Pdf

Exploring the advantages and disadvantages of codifying contract law, this book considers the question from the perspectives of both civil and common law systems, referring in detail to issues of international and consumer law. With contributions from leading international scholars, the chapters present a range of opinions on the virtues of codification, encouraging further debate on this topic. The book commences with a discussion on the internationalization imperative for codification of contract law. It then turns to regional issues, exploring first codification attempts in the European Union and Japan, and then issues relevant to codification in the common law jurisdictions of Australia, New Zealand and the United States. The collection concludes with two chapters which consider the need to draw upon both private and comparative international law perspectives to inform any codification reforms. This book will be of interest to international and comparative contract law academics, as well as regulators and policy-makers.

English and European Perspectives on Contract and Commercial Law by Louise Gullifer,Stefan Vogenauer Pdf

The purpose of this book is to honour the influential and wide-ranging work of Professor Hugh Beale. It contains essays by twenty-five very distinguished authors, each of whom has worked with Professor Beale as a co-author, as a teaching colleague, during his time as Law Commissioner of England and Wales, or as part of the study groups working in Europe on contract and commercial law. The essays reflect different aspects of Professor Beale's interests. Some concentrate on English contract law, either from a historical or a current perspective, while others are focused on aspects of European contract law. There are four essays looking at current issues relating to security and financing, and, as befits a former Law Commissioner, three essays on law reform. The essays in the final section discuss trends in transnational and European commercial law. This book brings together the reflections of eminent writers from all over Europe on important issues facing contract and commercial law and will be of interest to all scholars and practitioners working in these areas.
