統一商法典

統一商法典是美國法律演進歷史中最引人注目的成就之一。統一商法典的內容基於商業交易的不同環節。法典分為11篇，以總則和各分則的形式，在實踐中的商事規則和慣例進行了歸納和體系梳理，涉及貨物銷售合同、消費租賃、融資租賃、商業票據法、銀行存款單據、資金轉移、信用證、倉單、提單、投資證券和擔保等方面的法律。在結構方面，統一商法典由兩部分組成：法律條文和附註於條文的官方釋解；後者意在闡述法條的背景和原理，其重要性不亞於條文本身。

本書圍繞著統一商法典，本書注重介紹了第二篇貨物買賣合同、第三篇票據、第七篇倉單和存單、第九篇擔保和第五款信用證等主要內容。對於每一部分的內容，作者都根據相應地條款加以解釋說明。為了讀者閱讀方便，本書還附有一百多項統一商法典的條文索引。

作者簡介：

布拉德福德·斯通：密執安大學法學院教授，擔任West's legal Forms主編，研究和教授商法，另與人合著《統一商法典實務》。

相信這套叢書也能贏得國內讀者的歡迎。無論是法律專業的本科生、研究生，還是執業律師或其他人士，都能從這套叢書中獲得有關美國法律的大量知識，對自己的學習和工作有所助益。此外，通過閱讀原汁原味的英文來學習美國法律也應能提高讀者的法律英語水平，促進與美國同行的直接對話與交流。
