This book reflects the authors' belief that to teach only the rules would give students a false sense and static understanding of what commercial law is all about and what makes it exciting. This book is also an effective platform for a more detailed approach to the rules of commercial law. Problems could be easily supplemented text to provide students with a more technical understanding of these rules. The authors emphasize some of the rules because those rules help students understand the basic concepts. Most of the study deals with the UCC, specifically Articles 9, 3, 4, and 5.

Epstein, David

West Academic Publishing

This is the only bankruptcy casebook with two co-authors who not only teach bankruptcy but serve as bankruptcy judges. Together, the four co-authors have taught bankruptcy courses at more than 20 very different law schools. Drawing on this experience, they have prepared original text, problems, and edited cases with three goals in mind: (1) introduce students to one new bankruptcy concept at a time, (2) show students the connection among the various concepts and (3) give the students a sense of how these bankruptcy concepts are used not only in bankruptcy cases but also in transactions.

The book is organized by substantive legal areas. The first chapter provides an overview of securitization and is a terrific starting point for anyone trying to learn more about this $6 trillion industry where assets as diverse as car loans, credit card debt, student loans, home mortgages, and commercial mortgages are securitized to provide the loan originator with a source of capital at lower cost than might otherwise be available. The first chapter introduces securitization through a detailed discussion of an actual securitization of loans made to purchasers of Hondas. The Honda deal is followed as an example throughout the subsequent chapters and numerous documents from the deal are reprinted in the book. Students should benefit from the concrete example and the opportunity to examine the actual legal documents used to implement this type of financing transaction. 
Subsequent chapters of the book examine Article 9 of the UCC, the Bankruptcy Code, accounting issues, tax and other considerations, securities laws, and the Investment Company Act. There is a separate chapter focused on special concerns of banks securitizing loans, a chapter on international and cross-border issues in securitization, and a concluding chapter exploring the academic debate relating to the efficiency of securitization.
