New CALI Podcast Available to share with your students

This podcast by Professor Scott J. Burnham discusses the priority between a secured party and a party with a lien, including a judicial lien creditor, a creditor with a lien arising by operation of law, a creditor with an agricultural lien, and the IRS with a tax lien. The podcast discusses the relationship between Bankruptcy Code § 544(a), often referred to as “the strong arm clause,” and a PMSI (Purchase Money Security Interest).

The CALIcon21 Conference is pleased to announce that Professor Michael Wesch from Kansas State University will be our keynote speaker on Day 1 – June 2 – of this year’s conference.

This is the first of two podcasts by Professor Jennifer S. Martin that describe the process by which a creditor identifies collateral subject to a security interest under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. This podcast focuses primarily on descriptions of tangible personal property, including the descriptions used in a security agreement, and walks the listener through a series of examples. Classifications of collateral constituting intangible property are left for another podcast.

We are making improvements to the CALI website (cali.org) to give a better user experience.  The changes in the new theme are to the fonts, colors, general layout, and menus to improve readability and enhance usability.
