The premier authority on relationships and transactions between creditors and debtors, Secured Credit: A Systems Approach is known for its cutting edge coverage, dynamic pedagogy and ease of use for instructors. Applying the Systems Approach, students learn how the law is applied in real life as they examine the code in the context of actual transactions. Compelling problems are introduced with straightforward explanations and cases, making the concepts easy to teach. A modular structure allows for tremendous flexibility in course design, and through its organization around assignment units, instructors can easily prepare work for their students. This problem-based casebook presents a thorough review of the intersection of secured transactions and bankruptcy and is accompanied by a comprehensive Teachers Manual.

The Seventh Edition: With completely updated cases, statutes, and rules, the Seventh Edition presents the 2010 Amendments to Article 9. Improving on the hallmark flexibility in teaching, many assignments have been recast into two parts, allowing instructors to now assign one-and-a-half units for 75-minute classes. Problems have been refreshed and revised, and the text has been thoroughly scrutinized for accuracy. An updated Teacher’s Manual accompanies this edition and will be matched with a revised, comprehensive set of PowerPoint presentations in the spring of 2012.
