Sales, Cases and Materials - 9th Edition - Michael M. Greenfield

Sales, Cases and Materials 9th Edition Michael M. Greenfield

ISBN: 9798317701673

Greenfield and Monestier, Sales, Cases and Materials (Ninth Edition) takes a modern, practice-oriented approach to teaching the law governing contracts for the sale of goods. While providing comprehensive coverage of Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, the casebook goes beyond traditional doctrinal instruction to help students develop the practical skills necessary to work with statutes, analyze legal problems, and think like practicing attorneys.

This substantially redesigned edition includes numerous updates and innovative teaching features:

• Recent Case Law: More than 60 judicial decisions issued since 2024, including 12 principal teaching cases from the 2020s.
• Contemporary Issues: Coverage of emerging questions, including whether Amazon and other online marketplaces qualify as “sellers” under Article 2.
• Practical Problems: More than 100 original problems with memorable titles, such as “No Soup for You!”, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” and “Much Ado About EVOO,” designed to make complex legal concepts engaging and accessible.
• Detailed Case Analysis: Carefully developed “Notes & Questions” following each case, organized under concise, bolded headings to help students navigate the material.
• Engaging Case Selection: Cases involving familiar products and transactions, including eye makeup remover, inflatable snowmen, and Ferragamo belt buckles.
• Expanded Explanatory Text: Extensive background and analysis that provide context and help students understand the relationship between cases and legal doctrine.
• Challenging Doctrinal Topics: Expanded treatment of subjects that students often find difficult, particularly the statute of frauds and the parol evidence rule.
• Behavioral Science: Integration of consumer psychology and behavioral science research to examine how people actually make purchasing and contracting decisions.
• Statutory Materials: Relevant statutory provisions are included directly in the casebook, allowing students to work with the text of Article 2.
• UCC Amendments: Coverage of the 2022 amendments to Article 2.

Rather than presenting Article 2 as a collection of rules to memorize, this casebook demonstrates how sales law operates in real-world transactions. By combining current case law, practical problems, statutory analysis, and interdisciplinary research, the Ninth Edition helps students develop both a strong foundation in sales law and the skills to apply it effectively in legal practice.
