This list is comprised of multi-volume subscription-based serial titles available in print on the third floor of the library. They tend to go into great depth on their given topic, and typically represent the most probing and comprehensive discussion of their respective area of law available.
Please note that unfortunately, many of our subscriptions to multi-volume serials have lapsed, and our Contracts serials are no exception. Furthermore, since basic Contract Law changes exceedingly rarely, subscription serials generally don't focus on it. Instead, our collection's Contracts serials focus on the Uniform Commercial Code, and this page will reflect that.
Damages Under the Uniform Commercial Code by Roy Ryden Anderson
This long-running serial service remains the premier resource on its named topic: damages under the UCC. While that may seem a narrow topic, the size of the serial allows it to present thorough background treatment of its two components - the UCC generally, and contractual damages - as context. Available online on Westlaw Edge.
Uniform Commercial Code Series by William D. Hawkland
This is the pre-eminent serialized practice guide for all things UCC. It is structured as a section-by-section reproduction and analysis of the UCC, similar to an annotated code like the USCA or USCS, and includes extensive appendices of UCC forms, related model codes like Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and major international commercial treaties. Available online on Westlaw Edge.
Uniform Commercial Code Reporting Service edited by Henry G. Fischer and John W. Willis
This serial is a topic reporter, a type of case reporter similar to the regional reporters but only covering cases on one specific topic - in this example, cases applying and interpreting the Uniform Commercial Code. To that end, while the coverage is obvious quite a bit narrower than what one would expect from traditional reporters - and technically redundant with them - the supplementary information for each reported case is enormous, and goes into great detail. Not only will one find the basic headnote information, but a record of all parties and their attorneys, extensive professional analysis of the case itself, historical and appellate context, and so forth. This serial is an excellent starting point for a "deep dive" on a specific case. Available online on Westlaw Edge.
Bender's Uniform Commercial Code Service
A competitor to the Fischer & Willis UCC Reporting Service, with less comprehensive supplementary data but longer explanatory annotations to each case. Primarily maintained by second-year law students at Boston College, similar to a law review. Available online on Lexis Plus.
