The course will also build on the foundation of concepts and topics covered in Contracts, exposing students to key provisions of Articles 2 and 2A governing the sale and lease of goods. Finally, the course will survey the rights and liabilities that arise from payment by credit card, debit card, checks and other negotiable instruments. With respect to payment systems, the course will focus primarily on key provisions in Articles 3 and 4. The content of this course is tested on the bar exam in a majority of states.
