LAW5 617 - Secured Transactions (Law & Business

This course is an introduction to debt financing, with particular emphasis on the use and enforcement of security interests in collateral and on the priority structure of creditor claims against a business organization. The course takes a transactional (deal-making) rather than litigation perspective. Although the focus is on personal property security interests (and UCC Article 9), the course also discusses some pertinent provisions of state statutes governing mortgages and of the federal Bankruptcy Code. As part of the law and business track, the course assumes familiarity with accounting, valuation, and corporate finance concepts and methodology.
