Since it was first proposed over seventy years ago, the Uniform Commercial Code has become both an indispensable part of the study of law and an essential part of legal practice. Adopted by all 50 states, the Code has been hailed as one of the great products of American law. Its impact is by no means limited to the United States. The Code has become an important U.S. export: other nations have modeled their laws after our Uniform Commercial Code. Many practitioners and students find the UCC difficult to master due to:

• sometimes appearing to have been written in its own shorthand;
• no single provision of the Code can truly be understood without an understanding of the other provisions of the Code;
• the Code may be uniform, but it is not comprehensive; and
• the Uniform Commercial Code itself is not law.
