The Uniform Commercial Code Made Easy

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.

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.

I like the fact it is a paperback because the code is a lengthy subject.

As a Florida paralegal with over fifteen years of experience, I found this book to be both educational and practical. Mr. LeVine has written a book which explains the various provisions of the UCC in a humorous way through application of fact situations. This book cuts through the "legalese" to explain the Code in a simple and straightforward manner. I highly recommend this book for paralegals, attorneys, business owners, or anyone who conducts business transactions in today's complex world.

To make a complex matter simple takes great insight, not only into the subject matter, but also into how people learn. The author takes the reader/student on a whirlwind tour touching each major section of the UCC. He weaves the technical into the practical with a story that anyone with an interest or need in the subject will grasp. If you read this first, you will have a conceptual understanding to build on.
