Why Do Law Students Insist that Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code Applies Only to Merchants and What Can We Do About it?

Abstract

The title says it all - this article addresses a phenomenon all law school professors encounter in the courses in Contracts and Sales; it is also found in the courts and the profession. While the solution may partly be found by creating greater awareness of the problem, the article urges that it be addressed head-on through an express provision in Revised Article 2. This, alas, was not done.
