About Selected Commercial Statutes, 2023...

Selected Commercial Statutes, 2023 is an annual statutory supplement prepared for law students and instructors in commercial law courses. It reproduces the complete, unannotated text of the Uniform Commercial Code—including Articles 1, 2, 2A, 3, 4, 4A, 5, 7, 8, and 9—along with related federal statutes such as the Bankruptcy Code provisions, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, and selected international conventions. The volume is edited by Carol Chomsky, Christina Kunz, Elizabeth Schiltz, and Anne Lawton, all experienced commercial law professors. Because it is a supplement, it contains no explanatory notes or cases; its value lies in providing accurate, current statutory language in a portable format for classroom use and exam reference. The 2023 edition reflects statutory amendments through that year.

Who should read Selected Commercial Statutes, 2023...?

This supplement is intended for law students enrolled in courses on sales, secured transactions, payment systems, or commercial law, and for their instructors who assign it alongside a casebook. It is also useful for bar exam candidates who need clean statutory text for review, and for practitioners who want a compact, current reference to the UCC and related federal statutes. It is not a stand-alone treatise and offers no commentary, so readers seeking analysis or case law should look elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
Is this book a casebook or a statutory supplement?
It is a statutory supplement. It contains only the text of statutes, primarily the Uniform Commercial Code and related federal acts, with no cases, notes, or commentary. It is meant to be used alongside a casebook.
Does the 2023 edition include the latest UCC amendments?
Yes. As an annual edition, it incorporates statutory amendments through 2023, including changes to the UCC and related federal statutes. However, because statutes can change, always verify the current text for time-sensitive work.
Can I use this supplement for bar exam preparation?
Yes, many bar examinees use it to review clean statutory text for commercial law subjects. It is especially helpful for open-book practice and for familiarizing yourself with the UCC's structure, though it does not include exam-style questions or outlines.
Is this book suitable for undergraduate business law students?
It is primarily designed for law school courses. Undergraduates may find the unannotated statutory text dense and difficult without explanatory materials. It is best used in a law school setting or by those already familiar with legal reading.
What is the difference between this and the 'Selected Commercial Statutes for Sales and Contracts Courses'?
The Sales and Contracts version is a shorter compilation focused on UCC Articles 1 and 2 and related contract statutes. This broader volume includes additional UCC articles (such as 3, 4, 4A, 5, 7, 8, and 9) and more federal statutes, making it suitable for a wider range of commercial law courses.
