Business Law 125
UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE
The U.C.C. was drafted by the National
Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. It governs
commercial transactions (sales of goods, commercial paper,
bank deposits and collections, letters of credit, bulk
transfers, warehouse receipts, bills of lading, investments
securities, and secured transactions). The U.C.C. has been
adopted, with various modifications, by every state. To see a
statutory U.C.C., you must look at the California Annotated State
Codes located on the 2nd floor of the law library.
