Registration Notes
Fall 2020: This course will meet in person. One additional credit is available for negotiating and drafting several documents typically used in secured transactions. Specifically, I expect to assign transactional roles to students who elect this added credit of debtor or creditor, provide facts typical of certain lending transactions, and provide form documents that students will then use both as the basis for negotiation and documentation of the transaction. I expect the documents will include a security agreement, financing statement, promissory note, and certain supplemental documentation. This work will track and supplement the main material in the casebook, and so should not involve significant additional reading; it will involve one-credit's worth of time and effort to do the "deals."
