The Uniform Commercial Code Made Easy First Edition

I had a privilege to study under Professor LeVine and used his text book along with other materials for the course. The author is not just a law professor, not just a text book writer, but higher than that – he is an extraordinary man. I leave it to you to explore his credentials and life story. I am not here to talk about him, but to leave my comments of the text book itself.This text book was the easiest of all law text books that I have read in my three years in law school. It translated the dry UCC codes into plain English. It took out most of the code abstracts and replaced them with a practical story demonstrating how and where the codes are applicable. I read it with ease and enjoyment, and found it hard to put it down. I even smiled at times with the Stephen’s story in the book. Sounds weird for a law-code text? Do not take my word – try it for yourself and draw your own judgment. Any readers with an interest in the UCC would find this text book to be a road map into this area of law. If you are a business person trying to understand the UCC code, this book is probably the closest touch to the law that you are trying to understand. If you are a law student and run into proud classmates, who often subjectively think of themselves for their tall ability to read and understand the abstract codes, have them do this test. Ask these smart law students to read the codes, to give interpretation examples, then to compare their examples with those in this text book. These smart law students would be more humble after a few tries. For your part, if you are not another gung-ho law student, but would rather study this subject carefully to plan for a practical use down the line, then add this text to your stack whether or not it is required.

As a practicing attorney for over 41 years, I have found the brilliant 'UCC Made Easy' to be immensely and uniquely useful. It is my 'go to' guide for understanding the UCC; this knowledge has literally helped me win cases.Professor LeVine's remarkable book brings the Code alive. His highly entertaining and engaging style delivers extraordinary clarity to a complex law without undue legalese. His innovative story format filled with likable characters demonstrates how the Code applies in a clear, understandable real life manner. Professor LeVine shows how the Code applies to everyday business, consumer and commercial transactions, and reveals potential pitfalls for the uninformed. In doing so, he empowers the informed reader to protect one's rights by knowing and understanding the Code.His useful Code section and subject matter indexes offer quick access on particular issues, which features are especially useful for business owners, lawyers, accountants, bankers, and laypeople alike. Law, accounting, and business students will find this book enables them to quickly and clearly learn how the Code works through the story's fact patterns ---- rather than stumbling through the cumbersome case method.I highly recommend this outstanding book to everyone seeking to know and understand the UCC.

The author did a great job at making a complex and rather boring topic both interesting and easy to understand. I highly recommend purchasing this book if you are interested in learning more about the UCC. It is a textbook that I will refer to regularly that explains the most important concepts of the UCC in a simple manner.The author writes a story in which certain sections of the UCC are applied to simple everyday occurrences that happen in business on a regular basis, which allows the layman to obtain a legitimate understanding.This is one of the best law books I have read simply because it is both highly entertaining and highly informative. Props to the author for this genius work.

Recently I purchased a copy of The Uniform Commercial Code Made Easy by Robert LeVine.And after a quick read of his manual... I found that I had gained a clear and conciseunderstanding of the UCC.And the reason I was able to easily wrap my mind around the Uniform Commercial Codeis because the author clearly presents this multi-layered and complex subject matter througha simple story that just about anybody can easily relate to... learn from... and apply.He took a massive and complicated law subject and figured out a way to communicate andteach the material by using a simple... clear... and concise story format that seemsto cover all the important bases of the Uniform Commercial Code.He made a traditionally "dry and difficult document" come to life by presenting the UCCthrough an engaging story that most "folks" could easily picture themselves doing and living.And then went on to teach me the finer points of the Uniform Commercial Code by drillingdown into the exact details of the document.In addition, the use of a simple... clean... and open layout of the UCC Made Easy manual,plus the professional use of "easy on the eyes" typography fonts... really helpedme move through the contents quickly and easily.And by alternating the easy breezy story format with the logical legalese languageof the UCC... the author helped to give my brain a break... before he took me on amentally challenging journey... deep into the structure and meaning of the code.Overall I believe this "UCC quick access manual" is well worth the price I paid.And it will make an invaluable addition to my personal commercial law library.And I am glad I bought it... because it really did make the UCC easy to learn.David McEachernOntario, Canada
