內容提要
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，涉及貨物銷售契約、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契約、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》。
