This course focuses on Article Two of the Uniform Commercial Code, which governs sales (as opposed to leases or gratuitous transfers) of goods (as opposed to services or personal/real/intellectual property). Sales used to be a required first-year course; later, it was incorporated into first-year Contracts; now it is often ignored, even though it has significant practical application in the real world and is tested regularly on the bar exam. Essentially, Sales is an advanced course in Contracts. We will cover the special Article 2 rules governing contract formation, modification and termination; the need for a writing; implied terms; warranty liability/privity of contract; risk of loss; title; performance and breach; and remedies. To help you gain a working knowledge of Article 2, problems will be assigned for each class.
