WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS iecord Vol. 20 No. 10 Oct. 26, 1995 Buyers beware: Consumers 'protected' by antiquated laws Anyone who has ever tried to buy a car or make another major purchase knows it is a jungle out there and con- sumers are the prey Michael M. Greenfield, ID., Walter D. Coles Professor of Law, has written a new guide that will help lawyers represent • consumers in a legal area in which, histori- cally, businesses have had the upper hand. The treatise, titled "Consumer Law: A Guide for Those Who Represent Sellers, Lenders and Consumers," was published in August by Little, Brown and Company. Greenfield's treatise analyzes numer- ous areas of consumer law, including warranties, decep- tive practices, credit insurance, credit reporting agencies and debt collection. In the course of research- ing his book, Greenfield became concerned about two issues: Many Michael M. Greenfield iaWs represent business interests more than consumer Sophomore Jeff Carney gives his redesigned bicycle a test run while his classmates watch. The three-dimensional design interests, and many consumer laws need class required students to build bicycles that could replace cars in modern society. Some bikes, for example, had storage to be updated and/or revised. compartments, and others featured protection from the elements. Carney rebuilt the bike with sophomore Tim Stoll. Although numerous consumer laws have been enacted over the last few de- cades, many such laws are outdated or inadequate. "Consumers of the '90s are being protected by codes of the '60s and Modern mobility '70s," said Greenfield. The Uniform Commercial Code Students, community group collaborate on bicycles-of-the-future (UCC), for example, was adopted almost 30 years ago.
