Which version of UCC do contracts professors test you?
I am an incoming 1L students and was curious to know which version of UCC your law professors tested you on during your 1L contracts course? Are professors primarily testing you on the revised post-2003 version or are you still tested on settling contracts issues based on the previous version during exams?
Thanks.
Thanks.

i don't think anyone ever adopted the revised 2003 version. We were tested on Article 2 pre-revision

what difference does it make? Pay attention in class, and figure out how the professor wants you to answer the questions.

The current one. Note, that actually means the pre-2003 version. 2003 was officially withdrawn by ALI.

I don't understand why you would sign on to forum, read the question posed in the subject line of the post, and then decide to comment on it with some BS condescending answer like "just pay attention in class." Obviously I am asking because I care to know either for my own curiosity or for some other reason I deem important. Either way, why waste your time with an unhelpful answer and waste my time making me read it? In this case, I am reading the E&E series on contracts and the book covers settling contract disputes using both versions of UCC. If professors focus on teaching one version to the exclusion of the other, I would try and focus my time on a fuller understanding of that version as well.guano wrote:what difference does it make?

I'd highly advise not doing any 0L prep. Do something productive, like hang out with friends or drink beer or something. You'll be in better shape come exam time than the 0L prepers.NB2017 wrote:lawhopeful10 wrote:This.guano wrote:what difference does it make?

My professor didn't really cover the UCC at all.
The best thing you can do is just pay attention in class once classes actually start, and then figure out how your prof wants you to answer the questions.

I generally agree. I am only reading the contracts EE at a leisurely place because I find contracts pretty interesting. But thanks for the tip.

Re: Which version of UCC do contracts professors test you?
For a different perspective (on what you might get in a prof, not on the value of 0L prep), about 1/3 of my exam came straight out of examples in UCC comments for the sections we had covered.BigZuck wrote: My professor didn't really cover the UCC at all.

Re: Which version of UCC do contracts professors test you?
I'm pre law, so I dont know for sure just read. But whenever we go over UCC in undergrad, its article 2. And from what I've researched its the same thing in law school.
Fuck the code man, I swear haha

Re: Which version of UCC do contracts professors test you?
The reason for this response is because we have been on this forum long enough to know usually why people ask the questions they do. I also read the E&Es and did a lot of 0L prep. Some of it I thought was helpful but what I promise won't be helpful is memorizing whichever UCC version more kids on this forum say their teacher uses. Things like that are far too teacher specific hence the response. Your time is better used in other ways and that's all we are really saying. Good luck.NB2017 wrote:

Art. 2 is sales (really transactions) in goods, so that's what you do in contracts. Other articles come into play from time to time, including Secured Credit, which is a class almost entirely devoted to Art. 9, with some bankruptcy code and UFTA thrown in.choward014 wrote:I'm pre law, so I dont know for sure just read.

Re: Which version of UCC do contracts professors test you?
Yeah, reading E&Es, especially in Contracts or Property, can actually be detrimental rather than just a net 0. My property class didn't cover RAP or a few other common subjects, my Ks class completely skipped Statute of Frauds and focused a lot on "UCC or R2d". Torts some classes focus a lot on R3d, some (like mine) ignore it completely. There's just too many variables, and it depends a lot on your professor.

guano offered good advice. It's entirely up to your professor.NB2017 wrote:lawhopeful10 wrote:This.guano wrote:what difference does it make?

My professor did not teach to the UCC at all.
