The book offers clear and understandable explanations of every aspect of a secured transaction, including the scope of Article 9, attachment and perfection of a security interest, priority among competing security interests, default, choice-of-law rules, and assignment of rights. The book contains many straightforward examples to assist in the learning process and explanatory topical headings so that a reader can more easily locate the discussion of a particular issue. It also includes references to a few, carefully-selected recent cases that are particularly helpful in creating understanding. In short, the book is just what a law student needs as a companion reference to a course in secured transactions.
