Barnhizer and Barnes's Sales: A Contemporary Approach (Interactive Casebook Series)
CasebookPlus Learning Library – 12 month access to a digital Learning Library that includes self-assessment quizzes, study aids, an outline starter, and more.
Description
This book is built on (1) engagement with the actual text of the Code, (2) sufficient explanatory material to provide students with a systematic understanding of the relevant Code provisions, (3) cases that illustrate and explain how the Code works in practice, and (4) problems that require critical engagement by students with the actual text of the Code. The book provides students with a problems-based approach that incorporates the statutory language, explanatory material, and illustrative cases in a way that allows them to “own” their knowledge of the Code and their statutory interpretation skills.
The book is written with a more casual tone than traditional casebooks and much of the materials that would usually be relegated to notes following cases have been moved into structured explanatory discussions that precede the cases and problems. Moreover, besides the discussion problems included in the text, additional online practice questions have been made available at the end of each chapter. This provides students with a more structured approach to understanding the Code and avoids the problem of students glossing over unstructured post-case notes. Based upon student comments regarding prior drafts of this text, this approach has been well-received and productive.
This is a helpful and engaging casebook for students studying Sales & Leases, or instructors looking for a problems-based casebook that emphasizes a careful reading and application of the Code (including the 2022 UCC Amendments).
