About Prof. Widen

Tell me about helpful links for the study of business and commercial law:

The links below may assist you in your study of contracts, business and commercial law topics:

UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE:

Uniform Commercial Code: Model Version (at: Cornell Legal Information Institute)
Nebraska Uniform Commercial Code: a link so you can read “Official Comments” to the Uniform Commercial Code (Nebraska) because the Model Version appearing on the Cornell web site does not have permission to publish them. For example, read Nebraska UCC s. 9-203 and see the comments at the end of that section. Note—Nebraska publishes online an essentially verbatim copy of the true Official Comments to the UCC, in addition to Nebraska specific comments. It is easy to consult this source to read comments. And, for most purposes, you can use the actual text of the Nebraska UCC for study purposes. However, as always, you need to be on the alert for non-standard amendments.
Florida Uniform Commercial Code
Florida Secured Transactions Registry

Chart: UCC Article 9 collateral types

The United Nations has a Commission on International Trade Law referred to as "UNCITRAL". Among other matters, this commission works on international sales law and secured transactions.
