Allison E. Butler
A.E. Butler is in-house counsel for several corporations advising on commercial transactions and
additional legal matters. She introduces her text as follows:
My first encounter with the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
Goods (the "CISG") was several years ago. Although material on the subject existed, I found myself
searching for a simple explanation of case law on the subject. At the time there was little case law
rendered by U.S. courts; however, I discovered shortly thereafter that due to the internationality of the
CISG there exited foreign case law that not only explained the CISG but was also persuasive authority
under the terms of the CISG. As such, my primary objective when writing this book was to rely on
case law as well as scholarly writings, preferably legal articles by various scholars throughout the world,
to provide guidance as to interpretations of the CISG. In addition, I wanted to apply my research to
practical application in the courtroom. Hence, I have included forms and other textual materials so a
practitioner need only refer to the Appendix to resolve, it is hoped, a substantive or procedural issue.
Each chapter also contains a "Practical Application" section, which provides further insight based on
my research.
