This course provides an introduction to essential commercial concepts in the context of sales transactions. Students extend their knowledge of contract law through an in-depth study of the sale and lease of goods. The broad themes of this course may be familiar from the basic Contracts course but the law governing the sale and lease of goods within the United States is governed by Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), not the common law that is taught in Contracts. Topics include contract formation and enforceability, terms of the contract, risk of loss, warranties, performance and breach, remedies for breach, and transfer of goods.
