Top Law Schools

has anyone developed any mnemonic phrases for Articles 3 & 9 they can share?

One I found on the interwebs:
Seven Angry Creditors Persistently Pursue Secured Parties Relentlessly
S = Is There A Security Interest?
A = Has The Security Interest Attached?
C = Classification Of The Collateral?
P = Is This A PMSI?
P = Is The Security Interest Perfected?
S = What Is The Status Of The Party
P = What Priority Rule Applies?
R = What Remedy Is Available?

A security interest can be perfected by a PIG:
commercial Paper (negotiable instruments, certificates)
Intangible property
Goods


Real Defenses against HDC's (DIALS DIFF):
Duress
Illegality
Alteration (material)
Lack of capacity
Statute of Limitations

Discharge (bankruptcy)
Infancy of maker/drawer
Forgery
Fraud in fact


HDC Defenses (Muffin):
Mistake
Unconscionability
Failure of consideration
Failure of condition
Inducement by fraud
Non-delivery of completed instrument


Warranty Requirements are STAID:
Signatures are legit
Title is good
Alteration (no material alteration)
Insolvency (no knowledge)
Defenses (no defenses are good against him)


Requirements to be negotiable (MUST SOW):
Money (payable in money)
Unconditional promise
Sum certain
Time (definite time or payable on demand)
Signed by maker or drawer
Order of (must be payable to Order of)
Writing (must be signed writing)
