UCC Coffee You're working late, trying to complete the documentation on a secured loan. You're sleepy as visions of security agreements and financing statements dance in your head. What is the perfect pick-me-up: UCC Coffee (now with milk)!

It's smooth, refreshing, and there is none of that bitter aftertaste you get from the common law.

OK, I'll grant that the real origin of this wonderfully named product is the Ueshima Coffee Co. from Kobe, Japan. Nonetheless, it should find its way into law school hypotheticals and exams dealing with the Uniform Commercial Code. After all, it is not only good, but it is also goods.

Hat tip to my student, Matt Lees, for bringing this can to class the other day.

Not all UCC lawyers in Japan preferred UCC Coffee. When in Japan, my favorite canned coffee was Coffee Boss, which bears a visage resembling that of Uncle Joe Stalin.

Bankr-L

  • As a public service, the University of Illinois College of Law operates Bankr-L, an e-mail list on which bankruptcy professionals can exchange information. Bankr-L is administered by one of the Credit Slips bloggers, Professor Robert M. Lawless of the University of Illinois. Although Bankr-L is a free service, membership is limited only to persons with a professional connection to the bankruptcy field (e.g., lawyer, accountant, academic, judge).

After completing the information there, please also send an e-mail to Professor Lawless ([email protected]) with a short description of your professional connection to bankruptcy. A link to a URL with a professional bio or other identifying information would be great.
